Instructions

Step 1

Beat together the egg and milk. Dip kasseri into egg wash, shaked off excess and dredge in flour. Heat oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning it once, until it's golden and crusty, one to two minutes. Transfer the cheese to a small warmed casserole, douse it with two tablespoons of brandy, and light it with a match. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the cheese to put out the flames.
