Ingredients

1 Pound
Cheese
0.5 Cup
Water
0.66 Cup
All purpose flour
1 tbsp
Olive Oil
2
Lemons ((2-1/8" dia))
0.25 Cup
Parsley

Method

  1. Break the cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices or wedges, 2 1/2 to 3 inches across. Each slice must be thick enough not to melt while cooking.
  2. Moisten each slice with cold water and dredge it in the flour. Shake the extra flour off.
  3. Over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil in a small heavy-bottomed frying pan.
  4. Put a cheese slice in the hot oil and fry it until it's golden brown. Flip the slice of cheese to brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining slices of cheese.
  5. Serve hot with lemons for squeezing, and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
