Instructions

  1. Cut the brynza into slices about 1 cm thick, taking care not to break them.
  2. Brush the slices with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with pepper and paprika.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan or grill over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
  4. Lay the cheese slices down and let them brown for 2 to 3 minutes without moving them.
  5. Turn them over gently and brown the other side for 2 more minutes.
  6. Scatter with chopped fresh herbs and serve straight away with toasted bread and fresh vegetables.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Arrange the slices on a tray and bake at 220 °C for 8 to 10 minutes until golden.

Where to find it. Feta is a good stand-in for brynza; rinse it first if you want it less salty.
