Flaming Cheese - Saganaki!

  1. Mix the flour and oregano in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  2. Beat the egg and milk in a shallow bowl.
  3. Wet the pieces of cheese with water and coat each with the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and then back into the flour.
  4. In a heavy saute pan or cast iron skillet, melt the butter and olive oil until the butter starts to foam.
  5. Place the cheese into the pan and fry on both sides until golden and the cheese starts to soften.
  6. Quickly take the pan outside, pour in the brandy and ignite yelling "OPA" in unison.
  7. Let flame for effect for about 30 seconds and then squeeze a half of lemon over to douse the flame. ( the second half is "just in case")
  8. Serve this immediately spread on sliced country bread.
