Ingredients

  • 2 big tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • pinch aof salt
  • 200 grams or 7 oz feta cheese
  • 14 basil leaves
  • 1 small egg
  • black pepper
  • grams about 80or 1/2 cup flour
  • more olive oil to fry
  • Balsamico creme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons green pesto sauce
  • 8 olives
  • salt

Instructions

  • Cut tomatoes in slices. Put them in a bowl together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • Carefully slice your feta cheese lengthwise into two rectangles of the same length and width as the initial one, then cut them crosswise into smaller pieces. You should have 8 rectangles now.
  • Chop half of the basil leaves finely.
  • Beat an egg in a small bowl with the chopped basil and a pinch of black pepper. Dip each slice of feta cheese in the mixture, let the excess drain off and evenly coat the feta in flour.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each side for about 3 minutes, until they are golden-brown.
  • Drain the cheese on paper towels to remove the excess oil.
  • Take a plate and put half of the saganaki cheese and half of the tomatoes and stack them one after another into a circle. Repeat with a second plate and the other half. Put olives in the middle, 4 for each plate.
  • Sprinkle with olive oil, Balsamico creme and green pesto sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy!
