FLAMING GREEK CHEESE (SAGANAKI)

This flaming cheese ritual was started by restaurateurs in Chicago, who encouraged customers to yell, 'Opa!' as the plate was being ignited. You can recreate the tradition at home in minutes, whether you'd like to spark up a little romance with an old flame on date night or just try a fast and fun cheese dish on a chilly weeknight. Serve with sliced fresh or grilled bread.

Steps:

  • Brush each side of the kasseri cheese with water. Dredge both sides in flour, making sure the surface is completely covered.
  • Preheat a well seasoned cast iron skillet on medium-high heat until smoking. Pour in olive oil. 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 cheese over with a spatula. Fry until bottom is golden brown, about 30 seconds more.
  • Remove skillet from heat and transfer onto a napkin-lined plate. Pour brandy over the cheese. Light the brandy using a fireplace lighter. Now you can exclaim "Opa!" and marvel at the fire. Squeeze some lemon juice on top to extinguish the last few flames and garnish with parsley.

GRECIAN GRILLED CHEESE

Love the sandwich.....here is a Grecian twist to the grilled cheese. Hope you enjoyed as much as I do. I originally got this recipe from Epicurous. Goes great with a green salad for a light lunch or with soup for supper.

  • Add olive oil to a small skillet set over low heat. Add sliced onion and cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Spread butter onto one side of all four slices of bread and place butter-side-down on a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  • Top each slice of bread with feta cheese. And add tomato slices to just two of the slices and roasted red peppers on top of that. On the other two slices of feta-topped bread, add baby spinach leaves, caramelized red onions and kalamata olives.
  • Carefully bring two slices of bread together to sandwich together. (Alternatively, you can stack all the ingredients on two slices of bread (starting and ending with feta) and set the two remaining slices of bread on top). This grilled cheese is packed with a lot of ingredients, so some might fall out... You can just tuck them back in!
