Fried Goats' Gheese


1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
125 grams kasseri cheese or other hard, salty goats' cheese

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and in this saute the garlic until it is lightly browned. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.

Cut the cheese into squares about 5 centimeters on each side and about 1 centimeter thick.

Place the slices in the hot oil and cook, turning once, until the exterior of the cheese is almost but not fully melted.

Remove with a slotted spoon and serve hot as an appetizer, garnished with lemon wedges.

Serves 4-6.
