Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheese
Cut the Kasseri cheese into thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Coat the Cheese
Dredge each slice of cheese in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture to coat fully.
4. Fry the Cheese
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded cheese slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Flambé
Once the cheese is golden brown, carefully pour the ouzo or brandy over the cheese and ignite it with a long lighter or match. Allow the flames to subside.
6. Serve
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the hot cheese.
