Ingredients

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Slice feta into 2x3/8 inch squares, about 8 slices. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the oregano. Dip each slice of feta in egg, shake off excess, and coat in flour.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Quickly cook cheese in olive oil until golden, turning once. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Arrange feta on a plate with thick tomato slices, season with black pepper, and garnish with lemon wedges.
