Saganaki

Step by stepInstructions

1. Pat the cheese dry and dredge it on all sides in flour, shaking off the excess.
2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Fry the cheese until deep golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes per side; the center should be soft but not melted through.
4. If flaming: remove from the heat, add the ouzo, and carefully ignite with a long match. Let the flame die out.
5. Squeeze lemon over the cheese, scatter with oregano, and serve immediately in the pan with bread.
