Cheese Saganaki

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
350g Gruyere Cheese (or any hard cheese)
Little Flour
Pepper
Oil for frying
1/3 cup Ouzo or Cognac
1 Lemon
 
   
Preparation:  
   
Cut the cheese into 2 slices (finger thick). Coat with flour and pepper.

Heat oil in a heavy frying pan. Fry cheese on both sides. Warm up the ouzo or cognac and add to pan. Ignite the alcohol. Serve immediately after the flames have died down or even while still lit as it is serves in some Greek restaurants around the world.

Serve with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over the cheese.
