Serve this pan-fried feta cheese with slices of ripe, red tomatoes and lemon. My favorite feta cheese is at Whole Foods, and comes in a brick, in brine.

Ingredients:
| 8 ounces | brick (not crumbled) feta cheese |
| 1 | egg |
| 1 teaspoon | finely chopped fresh oregano |
| 1/2 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 2 tablespoons | olive oil |
| freshly ground black pepper | |
| 2 | large ripe tomatoes, sliced |
| 1 | lemon, cut into wedges |
Directions:
Slice feta into 2x3/8 inch squares, about 8 slices. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the oregano. Dip each slice of feta in egg, shake off excess, and coat in flour.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Quickly cook cheese in olive oil until golden, turning once. Pat dry with paper towels.
Arrange feta on a plate with thick tomato slices, season with black pepper, and garnish with lemon wedges.
