Instructions
- 1
Cut the Kasseri cheese into 1-inch cubes.
~3 min - 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, dried oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
~2 min - 3
Toss the cheese cubes in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
~3 min - 4
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
~2 min - 5
Carefully add the floured cheese cubes to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
~7 min - 6
Remove the fried cheese bites from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
~1 min - 7
Arrange the spicy saganaki bites on a serving plate and drizzle generously with honey.

Tips
- Ensure the oil is hot before adding the cheese to achieve a crispy exterior. If the oil is not hot enough, the cheese will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Serve immediately after drizzling with honey for the best texture and flavor experience.
