Gebna Makelyah (Egyptian Fried Cheese)

And Now for  My Recipe Suggestion for with Death On The Nile: Gebna Makelyah, which is an Egyptian oven-fried cheese served with pita bread.

Gebna Makelyah

Gebna Makelyah

Ingredients:

5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon flour
1 egg
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
lemon wedges
1 piece of pita bread, cut into six triangles

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°.
Place the cheese, flour, egg, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Roll the mixture into six balls. If the mixture seems too loose, add a little more flour.

Pour the olive oil into an ovenproof skillet.  Roll the cheese balls in the oil,  coating them thoroughly.  Bake 5 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the balls over.  Bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.

Place on serving platter and sprinkle with juice from a lemon wedge. Serve warm with extra lemon wedges and triangles of pita bread.

Serves 6  Can be easily doubled or tripled, or the balls could be made smaller.

Yum
