About this dish
What is Feta Saganaki?
Feta Saganaki is one of the most popular hot mezze in Greek cooking. Unlike the familiar cheese saganaki made with hard cheese, this dish bakes a piece of feta in a sauce of tomato, pepper, olive oil and herbs. The result is a wonderfully creamy, savoury and lightly spicy dish that goes perfectly with fresh bread and a glass of Greek wine.
