Directions
Saganaki: Flaming Cheese, This is so very simple, very impressive and fun to make! Opa (Prep time includes marinade time), I had Saganaki for the first time in a wonderful, little restaurant in Athens while on our Mediterranean vacation last winter, so when I saw this recipe I just had to try it The grocery store in my hometown didn’t have kasseri cheese so used Kraft cheese slices instead It turned out incredible!!, It was great! Did not marinate for 2 hours still very flavorful and gooey!
