Greek Saganaki
Recipe Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse

Ingredients
8 (1/2-inch) slices Kasseri cheese
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups brandy
1 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
2 lemons, juiced
8 rounds of pita bread, brushed with olive oil, grilled and quartered
1 cup Kalamata olives

Directions
Season both sides of the cheese with salt and pepper. Place the cheese
in a shallow dish and cover with brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Season
the flour with salt and pepper. Remove the cheese from the pan, reserving 1/4 cup of the brandy and
dredge in the seasoned flour, coating completely. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the

butter. Pan-fry the cheese for 2 minutes on each side. Add the reserved brandy and carefully flame
the liquor, shaking the pan back and forth several times. Add the lemon juice. Remove from the pan
and serve with the pita bread and olives.
