Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Dip feta cheese slices in flour. Brown in butter for about three minutes on each side in a non-stick skillet. Serve feta cheese as a hot appetizer along with lemon wedges and Kalamata olives.

2. Dredge feta cheese slices in flour, then in beaten eggs and in fine breadcrumbs. Deep-fry in olive oil until crispy. Serve topped with tomato sauce.

3. Cut feta cheese into large chunks. Coat with breadcrumbs and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Add to a tomato-cucumber salad with fresh mint. Serve as a light lunch.

4. Deep-fry breaded slices of feta cheese. Layer inside a split submarine roll along with slices of fried eggplant and vinegar peppers. Douse with balsamic vinegar. Serve as a vegetarian sub sandwich.

5. Cook onions, garlic and tomatoes into a pasta sauce. Mix cooked pasta with sauce in a flame-proof casserole. Place feta slices on top and put in a hot oven just until feta cheese melts.

6. Prepare to roast lamb or veal chops on individual sheets of foil placed on a large baking sheet. Drizzle chops with extra virgin olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, crushed oregano, salt and pepper. Place a large slice of feta cheese over each chop and fold foil over to form a pocket. Bake for 30 minutes.

7. Substitute feta cheese for American or cheddar cheese the next time you make a grilled cheese sandwich. Layer the sandwich with slices of beefsteak tomato and roasted red peppers. Grill as usual and serve as a hot snack.
