Saganaki

Saganaki (Greek σαγανάκι lit. 'little frying-pan') is a Greek appetiser of fried cheese.

The cheese used is usually Kefalograviera, Kasseri, Kefalotyri, or sheep's milk Feta cheese. Regional variations include the use of Formaella cheese in Arachova and Halloumi cheese in Cyprus.

The cheese is melted in a small frying-pan until it is bubbling, and generally served with lemon juice and pepper. It is eaten with bread.

Some of these cheeses are fairly salty so I would not add any extra salt.
