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:
- Put the flour in a bowl and mix in the salt evenly. Mix the honey and the yeast with the 1/2 cup of water. Make a small dip in the center of the flour and add the yeast/honey water. Mix just a small amount of the flour into the yeast/honey water and cover the bowl and set it in a warm place for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, mix in the rest of the flour, along with enough additional water to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Mix the additional water in a little at a time. Gather the dough into a ball and turn it out onto a working surface and knead it until it is smooth and pliable (about 10 minutes).
- Put the dough back in the bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until double in size.
- Brush a shallow oven dish with oil and place the dough into it. Flatten the dough out with your hands, to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the dough and press it in with your fingers. Sprinkle the oregano evenly over the cheese. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil and pour the rest of the oil over the cheese.
- Let the dough rise uncovered for 30 mins and place in a preheated 450 oven for 30 mins, or until it has a golden color.
- Enjoy!

FRIED FETA GREEK SALAD PITAS
These are inspired by fried mozzarella sticks, briny Greek salad and falafel pitas. The only thing better than fried cheese on a salad...is stuffing that salad in a fluffy pita. The result is a party of textures, flavors and colors in one delicious handheld bite.

Steps:
- Combine the olives, cucumbers, red pepper and onion in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, a big pinch of salt and some black pepper and toss to combine. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator while you make the feta.
- For the feta, prepare a dredging station. In a rimmed dish, add the flour. In a separate rimmed dish, whisk the egg with a splash of water. In a third separate dish, whisk together the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Coat each chunk of feta in the flour and tap off the excess. Dunk in the beaten egg and then coat in the breadcrumbs, tapping off the excess.
- Heat a 1/4-inch layer of olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Test to see if it is hot enough by sprinkling a bit of breadcrumb in the oil. If it sizzles right away, it's ready.) Carefully place the breaded feta cubes in the oil and fry in batches for 90 seconds to 2 minutes on the first side, undisturbed. Flip and fry on the other side for another minute or so, or until golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet and allow excess oil to drain. Repeat until all pieces are fried.
- To serve, slice open each pita and create a pocket. Schmear a big plop of hummus inside each one, followed by some arugula. Top with a pile of the Greek salad, a few chunks of the warm, fried feta, a dollop of yogurt and a few pieces of mint. Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the water, sugar and yeast just to dissolve. Add the oil and salt and then gradually add the flour. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 7 to 10 minutes, adding just enough additional flour so that the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Do not add too much flour. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky. Lightly coat a clean large bowl with oil or cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn it once or twice to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough onto a clean work surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Mold each piece into a ball by stretching the top and tucking the edges under. Place the balls 1 inch apart on a piece of parchment paper, cover them with plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Set an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the balls of dough into 6-inch circles. Place them on the baking sheets and bake for about 5 minutes, or until they're puffy and just starting to brown.

Steps:
- Stir yeast and water together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, salt and anise seed. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir until mixed. Place dough on a floured surface.
- Begin kneading dough, adding as much flour as needed so that dough is not too sticky. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes, until smooth and shiny. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and brush top with 1 teaspoon of oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch the dough down and let rise until doubled again, about 1 hour. Punch down the dough and place on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 10-inch circle. Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Place dough in skillet and brush with remaining oil. Sprinkle with grated onion, goat cheese, oregano and pepper. Fry until bottom of dough is crisp and brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Place skillet in oven and bake until top is browned and cheese melted, about 15 minutes. Let cool a little before serving.

- To prepare this delicious fried bread with feta cheese (tiganopsomo), start by making the dough. Add the flour into a large bowl; using your hands make a dimple in the middle and add the salt, the sugar, the yeast and pour in the olive oil. Knead the dough with your hands adding slowly the lukewarm water, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic and doesn’t stick. Cover the dough for the fried bread with some plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough in 4 pieces. Roll the pieces of the dough into circles, approx. 0.5cm thick (that can fit your frying pan). Top two circles of dough with crumbled feta cheese and cover with the other circles. Join the edges well, using a fork.
- Heat a large frying pan to medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry the breads, until nicely coloured. When one side becomes golden, turn them on the other side. Remove the fried bread from the pan and place on some kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil. Enjoy while still warm!
