Pan Fried Greek Graviera Cheese with Honey

Written by Published on Updated on June 10, 2020 in Appetizers

Hey everyone  🙂

I love the combination of sweet and salty?  Do you?  This first time I tried this combo I was about 15 years old. Salty potatoes chips and oatmeal cookies with raisins were my first sweet and salty combo hahaha…by the way oatmeal cookies are still my favorite cookies.  🙂  

I was able to find this delicious Greek Cheese from one of the Greek Deli’s we have in NL.  It is about an hour and a half away from my house but I don’t mind…I actually do like short and long road trips. 🙂   Back to the recipe…the pan-fried cheese is usually garnished with lemon juice to give that salty taste a bang.  But this level of salt and sweetness is just amazing at every bite.  If you are unable to find this specific Greek Cheese you can also you any pasteurized cheese that melts.  

Here is a tip that you might not know and this is for the new cooks. 🙂  Before frying dip the cheese into water so that the flour sticks! 🙂  A very easy recipe that is also a great appetizer if your planning on having a small party

Have a great day everyone and please STAY SAFE!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Graviera cheese and Greek honey pair well together. This dish is the perfect way to meld both flavors together!
