Sautéed Lor cheese with olive oil is a simple Turkish preparation of lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese, warmed and lightly browned in a pan with olive oil. It stays soft and crumbly, with a gentle dairy flavour rounded out by the oil; it is not a stretchy, melting cheese.
In Turkey, it can be served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and cucumber, or offered as part of a meze spread. Elsewhere, it works well as a quick savoury side or a filling for toast and flatbread. It provides a notable amount of protein—15.5 g per 100 g—along with fat from the cheese and olive oil. Use a modest pour of oil for a lighter dish.
