Description
This thriller of an appetizer always draws exclamations.
It's really easy to make, if you have the nerve for it. Saganaki is best served with pita or crusty bread.

Ingredients
1 lb Kegalograviera Cheese

- Cut the cheese into slabs about 1/4-inch thick and brush with melted butter on a broiler pan.
- Broil the cheese about 4-6 inches from the flame until it bubbles, just a few minutes.

Notes
I get Kefalograviera cheese (and most other Greek goodies) at Bahnan's Market in Worcester.
