Saganaki

In an effort to relive some of the fun had during Dave & Ashley's much anticipated "wedding of the century", here is the recipe for our much loved Greek appetizer.


8 ounces Kasseri cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
1 ounce brandy


Slice cheese into 3/8 inch slabs. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the oregano. Dip each slice of cheese in egg, shake off excess, and coat in flour.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Quickly cook cheese in olive oil until golden, turning once. Pour brandy over and flame for effect. Shout Opa! Squeeze lemon juice over.

Arrange cheese on a plate, season with black pepper, and garnish with lemon wedges.
