About Saganachi flaming cheese

Saganaki Flaming Cheese is a festive Greek appetizer that showcases pan-fried Kasseri, Graviera, or Halloumi cheese, flambéed with brandy or ouzo and traditionally finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This dish is a combination of rich flavors and a theatrical presentation, often ignited tableside to create a dramatic flare. While the cheese provides calcium and protein, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Often served with crusty bread or fresh vegetables, Saganaki can be a flavorful addition to a Mediterranean-inspired meal. Its origins celebrate the Greek tradition of savoring simple ingredients with bold preparation, offering a warm and indulgent start to any dining experience.
