What it is
Slices of local Montenegrin cheese (often a firm, salty white cheese similar to feta or halloumi) pan-fried until golden and slightly crispy on the outside, warm and soft within. A rich, simple appetizer.
Key ingredients
Local Montenegrin cheese (e.g., 'kolašinski sir' or 'škripavac'), olive oil or butter for frying.
Optional tweaks
Ensure it is pan-fried in oil/butter without any flour dredging or breading. Request no bread accompaniment.
Watch out for
Occasionally, cheese might be lightly floured before frying to achieve crispiness. Confirm it is not. Always ensure it is served without bread, which is a common accompaniment.
