For those that don't know and love cheese, the Greek flaming cheese (Saganaki) is quite a delicious appetizer and can be done very easily. Took us a couple of tries and a lot was learned that day. The kefalotiri or kasseri cheese can be bought in your local supermarket. Its a great tasting dish. But eat it while its hot. As soon as it get cold/solid the taste becomes very overwhelming and will ruin the experience. Hence, many restaurants like to keep it in a hot pan to keep it warm.
Cut the cheese into a square block as thick as 1 cm - 1.5 cm. Soak in water, coat with lots of flour all over (or pie crust as we've discovered). Pan fry till brown, repeat on other side. Serve.
Serve with white wine, and you'll have a great appetizer. Ya, its not Chinese, we don't do appetizers. :( Love this Greek piece!
