Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 slices kasseri cheese, about 4 inches in diameter and cut 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 lemon halved
  • 3 ounces inexpensive brandy

Instruction

  • Mix the flour and oregano in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Beat the egg and milk in a shallow bowl.
  • Wet the pieces of cheese with water and coat each with the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and then back into the flour.
  • In a heavy saute pan or cast iron skillet, melt the butter and olive oil until the butter starts to foam.
  • Place the cheese into the pan and fry on both sides until golden and the cheese starts to soften.
  • Quickly take the pan outside, pour in the brandy and ignite yelling "OPA" in unison.
  • Let flame for effect for about 30 seconds and then squeeze a half of lemon over to douse the flame. ( the second half is "just in case")
  • Serve this immediately spread on sliced country bread.
