Egyptian Gebna Makleyah (Oven-Fried Cheese)

Ingredients
? 1 cup firm feta cheese, crumbled, or traditional Egyptian cheese such as labna or gebna
? 1 Tablespoon flour
? 1 egg
? Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
? Olive oil
? Lemon wedges and pita bread cut into triangles, for serving
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 400?F.
2. Place the cheese, flour, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well with very clean hands.
3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
4. If the mixture seems too loose to hold the ball shape, add a little more flour.
5. If the mixture seems too dry, add a bit of lemon juice, vinegar, or water.
6. Pour 2 or 3 Tablespoons olive oil onto a cookie sheet to grease.
7. Arrange the cheese balls on the cookie sheet, rolling them around to coat thoroughly with the oil.
8. Bake 5 minutes.
9. Wearing an oven mitt, open the oven door and shake the cookie sheet to prevent cheese balls from sticking and to turn them.
10. Bake 5 more minutes, until golden brown.
11. Remove with a spatula and drain on absorbent paper.
Serve warm with lemon wedges and triangles of pita bread. (Serves 4 to 6)
Happy Cooking!
