the juice of 1 lemon

Saganaki is a Greek dish..yes...it is made with Kefalotiri cheese. First you slice it about 1/2 inch thick, then dip it in water...dredge it in a little flour then coat it in an egg and milk mixture. There are specific pans used for the next step...olive oil is heated to high temp on the stove in a saganaki pan...place the cheese into the oil and brown on both sides. Put into hot oven until cheese is very soft and crust is golden. Take out of oven and pour off oil...leave cheese in pan....put pan into proper "holder" . This is the fun part...pour half an ounce of brandy or ouzo onto pan and ignite...flames will be quite high...after 5 or 10 seconds, squeeze juice from a lemon wedge onto cheese. Serve by cutting pieces of cheese and putting on grilled bread or pita. The mussels are obviously a variation of the original. I would do this by steaming mussels in white wine then placing in pan and crumbling cheese on top..then put into oven and follow the next steps as above. By the way..it is customary to yell "OPA" when you are flaming the cheese.
