FLAMING GREEK CHEESE (SAGANAKI)
This flaming cheese ritual was started by restaurateurs in Chicago, who encouraged customers to yell, 'Opa!' as the plate was being ignited. You can recreate the tradition at home in minutes, whether you'd like to spark up a little romance with an old flame on date night or just try a fast and fun cheese dish on a chilly weeknight. Serve with sliced fresh or grilled bread.

Steps:
- Brush each side of the 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 the floured cheese in the hot oil. Cook until cheese begins to ooze and a golden brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Quickly flip cheese over with a spatula. Fry until bottom is golden brown, about 30 seconds more.
- Remove skillet from heat and transfer onto a napkin-lined plate. Pour brandy over the cheese. Light the brandy using a fireplace lighter. Now you can exclaim "Opa!" and marvel at the fire. Squeeze some lemon juice on top to extinguish the last few flames and garnish with parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill over indirect medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the parsley, yogurt, garlic, coriander, salt, cumin, paprika, and allspice. Add the lamb and mix gently by hand until evenly combined. Shape the meat into 4 patties, each about 4 by 6-inches by 1/2-inch.
- Oil 1 side of the pizza dough very lightly. Grill, oiled side down, over medium-high heat until the bottom side is blistered. Lightly oil the top and flip over. Scatter the cheese over the dough and cook until the underside is blistered. Move to indirect heat, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted and the dough is cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the dough into rough rectangles about the size of the patties and keep warm while you grill the burgers.
- Lightly oil the patties and arrange them on the hot side of the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare to medium. Transfer the burgers to the bread, top with some Muhamarra and grilled onions and top with another piece of the grilled pizza dough. Put them back on the grill over low or indirect heat for a few seconds per side. Remove them from the grill, halve the sandwiches on a long diagonal, and serve immediately.
- Put all of the ingredients, except the lemon zest, in a food processor and process until a smooth paste forms. (Start with 1 hot pepper, taste, and then add more if you want it hotter.) If the mixture is too thick, drizzle in a little more olive oil. Stir in the lemon zest by hand. Taste and add more salt and hot pepper, if desired.
GREEK-STYLE SPINACH-OLIVE PIZZA (VEGETARIAN)
Kasseri cheese is a creamy Greek cheese that is almost similar to a very mild cheddar or mozzarella you may substitute the Kasseri cheese for mild cheddar or mozzarella if desired. A pre-baked focaccia crust will work well with this also in place of the store-bought boboli pizza crust, you can also make this on a pre-baked pizza crust. If the Kasseri cheese has sun-dried tomatoes already added into the cheese, just omit the tomatoes from the recipe. Adjust all amounts to suit taste, this is very good! recipe#65641 works well with this pizza!

Steps:
- In a large metal baking pan (I don't have measurements- approximate at about 15x12-inch and anything close), layer 1/2 of phyllo sheets, brushing each one generously with butter before adding next, and staggering across pan to get all corners covered.
- Combine cheeses well and place in pan.
- Spread out evenly.
- Cover with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each one generously with butter before adding next, and staggering across pan to get all corners covered.
- Tuck in loose edges and brush top of pastry generously with more butter.
- With the tip of a pointy knife, mark lines where you'll eventually want to cut the pieces once baked.
- These act as steam vents.
- Make sure you don't cut all the way into bottom layer of pastry- you just want to cut through the top layer.
- Pour over any remaining butter.
- Combine milk with the eggs and beat well.
- Pour over pastry and allow to sit, at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the custard.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- After 20 minutes, place pastry in oven and bake till golden-brown on top.
- For the last 10 minutes of baking, place pan on floor of oven to ensure a crisp, properly-baked bottom crust.
- Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting pieces.
