Steps:
- For the tzatziki: Whisk together the yogurt, sour cream, dill, cucumber, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- For the burgers: Mix the beef with the cilantro, mint, coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Form the meat into 4 balls, then press into 4-inch patties (each 1 inch thick). Make a 2-inch-wide indentation on the top of each patty with your thumb; this will prevent the burgers from bulging up during cooking.
- Set up a breading station: Divide the flour between 2 shallow bowls and lightly beat the egg in a third bowl. Working with one piece of cheese at a time, moisten the cheese under running water, then dip in the first bowl of flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg, then the second bowl of flour. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the beef patties and cook undisturbed until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes more for medium. Set aside on a plate.
- Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and heat over medium heat. Add the cheese and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and heated through, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully pour the ouzo over the cheese and immediately light with a long stick lighter. Let the flames burn for 10 to 15 seconds (yell out "OPA!"), then squeeze the lemon halves over the top to put out the flames.
- Spread the tzatziki on the cut sides of the buns. Top the bottom half of each bun with a burger, a cheese slice, some tomato, onion, cucumber and olives and the other piece of bun.

Steps:
- Season both sides of the cheese with salt and pepper. Place the cheese in a shallow dish and cover with brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Remove the cheese from the dish, reserving 1/4 cup of the brandy, and dredge in the seasoned flour, coating completely.
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Pan-fry the cheese for 2 minutes on each side. Add the reserved brandy and carefully flame the liquor, shaking the pan back and forth several times. Add the lemon juice, to taste. Remove from the pan and serve with the pita bread and olives.
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.

BROILED BRANDY SAGANAKI
Most saganaki seems to be fried with ouzo. Thought this might be a good alternative for those who don't want to "fry" or don't have ouzo on hand. Got this recipe from "Food Festival USA" cookbook. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds good! Posted for ZWT II - Greece
