Saganaki

This appetizer recipe is on fire, quite literally. This 10-minute Saganaki recipe will transport you to a table at a Greek restaurant. Opa!

Ingredients :
  • 4 ounces Kasseri cheese
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ounce brandy
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced, for garnish
Directions :
  1. Using a pastry brush, brush each side of the Kasseri cheese with water. To a shallow dish, add flour. Coat each side of the cheese with flour.
  2. In a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat pan until it just begins to smoke, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add olive oil and carefully place the floured cheese in the hot oil. Cook until cheese begins to ooze and a golden-brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Quickly flip the cheese over with a spatula. Fry until bottom is golden brown, about 30 seconds more.
  3. Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle brandy over the cheese. Carefully light the brandy using a fireplace lighter. Let the flames subside, drizzle lemon juice over cheese, and garnish with parsley.
