Ingredients
-
1 (4 ounce) package kasseri cheese
-
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 tablespoons brandy, at room temperature
-
½ lemon, or to taste
-
1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley
Directions
-
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.

Chef's Notes
I've also made this with a cheese called halloumi, which is tasty but doesn't melt at all, and for me, that's the best part. You can also use Graviera, Kefalograviera, Kefalotyri, or even firm feta cheese.
Any high-proof liquor will work in this recipe, and you can garnish with oregano if you prefer.
