Saganaki

Saganaki refers to various Greek dishes prepared in a small frying pan, also called a saganaki, the most notorious being an appetizer of fried cheese. In this recipe the cheese is melted in a small frying pan until it is bubbling and generally served with lemon juice and pepper. In most greek restaurants in the USA and Canada, after being fried, the fried cheese is flambéed at the table the flames extinguished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice while the waiter (and the patrons) all shout "opa!", making the presentation of the dish all the more impressive.
