Dinner,Appetizer 15 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

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

Instructions

  • Brush each side of 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 floured cheese in hot oil and cook until cheese begins to ooze and a golden-brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Quickly flip cheese over with a spatula. Fry until the bottom is golden brown, about 30 seconds more.
  • Remove from the heat and place skillet onto a napkin-lined plate. Pour brandy into the skillet over the cheese. Light the brandy using a fireplace lighter. Squeeze some lemon juice on top to extinguish the last few flames and garnish with parsley.
