Tyri Saganaki
(Fried Cheese)
Tyri Saganaki is fried cheese, but there is no strict rule how to make it.
In the photo right is probably the most standard deep-fried feta.
This is a variation of saganaki tyri. Three cheeses (feta, mastelo and kaseri, I think) are cooked in oven with tomato sauce.
We ate this at Taverna Giorgos in Poros and it was given the name of the taverna, i.e. Tyri Saganaki 'Giorgos'.
Sliced Feta fried in saganaki pan (at Karsi, Piraeus).
Slices of tomato and hot green chili pepper on top.
