FLAMING GREEK CHEESE (SAGANAKI)



Flaming Greek Cheese (Saganaki) image

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.

Time 13m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (4 ounce) package kasseri cheese
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons brandy, at room temperature
½ lemon, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces mexican chorizo sausage (beef or pork)
1 (12 ounce) round asadero cheese (or other white melting cheese)
2 tablespoons brandy
crumbled pasilla chile
1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
fresh corn tortillas or flour tortilla, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F
  • Heat chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly and spoon off most of the fat.
  • Slice cheese into 1-inch cubes; place half in a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half the chorizo and remaining cheese. Top with remaining chorizo. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until creamy and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and drizzle with brandy. Carefully light with a match; brandy will flame up and burn out quickly. Top mixture with crumbled chiles, green onions and cilantro. Serve immediately with tortillas.
