Greek Fried Cheese

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp butter
1 egg, well beaten
1 tsp flour
1/2 lb kasseri cheese sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 Tbsp brandy
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Heat the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Beat the egg and flour together and dip the slices of cheese in the mixture. Fry until well browned on both sides.

Remove from the heat and add the brandy. Carefully ignite the brandy with a match, and shake the skillet until the flame is extinguished. Squeeze the lemon juice over the cheese and serve from the skillet along with crusty bread.

Serves 6 to 8.
