Crispy Kefalotyri & Fig Leaf Oil Croquettes with Charred Lemon & Burnt Garlic
Creamy Greek hard cheese mixed with fresh thyme and semolina, formed into golden croquettes and pan-fried until the exterior shatters and inside oozes, finished with a peppery fig leaf oil infused with burnt garlic chips, and served alongside charred lemon halves releasing hot juice. An elegant, distinctly Mediterranean appetizer—cheese-forward, herbal, and alive.
