I really want help with this..

Well for anyone whos a chef or knows a bit about restaurants will know what im talking about, ever seen a starter not with simply just feta cheese in it but (cant remember where ive had it before) it was like covered in breadcrumbs like chicken nuggets or fishfingers or something and it just had feta cheese in it does anyone know the proper name of this so i could look up the recipe.. i really want to make it.

I've never heard of it but it sounds interesting. You can purchase blocks of feta and cut them into whatever shape you want, just be gentle as it will crumble, then dust it with flour, dip it in egg wash and cover with whatever you want to use for crust, ie breadcrumbs, crushed crackers and herbs etc...
Then either pan fry or deep fry till golden crispy delicious. Next call VaporDaddy over for a smoke a snack and mabey some wine.:jointsmile:

Aww Daddy never needs to be lonely, I'll go swap recipes and swill cheap wine wiht ya anytime! What say I bring the local Gor-May club, and we'll call it a party!

Fried cheese is AWESOME but not frozen mozarella stix. Fresh buffalo mozz is better, but you have to freeze them solid before breading and frying or they will just melt and run out of the crust- they have quite a bit of moisture in them too so a double-breading is almost a necessity.

Pan-fried Manchego blazed in brandy with lemon squeezed over the top is out of this world too, or asiago works as well.

For feta lovers, try making spanikopita (Greek feta, phyllo, and spinach pie). It's delicious, salty, and great either hot or chilled.

Are you talking about Saganaki? It's a breaded cheese curd, sometimes they use feta, and they serve it flambe at the table. It's very good.

it does look like that but no the thing im talking about isnt flambe'd

[Zwitter]

It does say that the flambeing is optional - the actual cheese is breaded and fried in shallow oil in a pan, with a recipe for seasoned breadcrumbs accompanying it. Maybe you could try a Saganaki recipe minus the flambeing?

Ill research it, might even try making it if it sounds good..

Saganaki is made with a greek cheese called Kafalotiri. It's used in greek dishes like Pastitsio.
