First time making saganaki. Halloumi cheese pan-fried in ghee, finished with a squeeze of lemon while in the pan.

    Looks awesome, great job!

    As a sidenote, you’d never ever see whole “Opa!” thing in Greece, it was just an invention of Greek restaurant owners in US to attract tourists (much like fortune cookies). I know I should just be dismissing it as harmless, but for some reason it always annoys me when I see it :D

    Once again though, great job! It looks absolutely delicious and I bet it was super tasty.

      That does not surprise me lol. Made my wife’s day, though! She loves saganaki, and we can’t get it at any restaurant within at least 2 hours of us.

      And yes, it was delicious. Tomorrow I’m going to have to make homemade pita to go with it. The pack I picked up at the store was very blah.
