Saganaki dishes take their name from the pan in which they are made. A sagani is a two-handled round pan that is made in many different materials. In the market, look for a small paella pan, small cast iron skillet, or even an oval au gratin dish.
Serve this as an appetizer, as an hors d'oeuvre, or as part of a meal made up of a varied selection of mezethes. The key to success with this dish is to get the oil hot (before it starts to smoke) before frying.
Saganaki (Greek σαγανάκι)(meaning flaming cheese, sometimes translated as fried cheese) is a salty and aromatic cheese-based Greek appetizer of fried or grilled cheese.
The cheese used is usually Kefalograviera, Kasseri, Kefalotyri, or sheep milk Feta cheese. Regional variations include the use of Formaella cheese in Arachova and Halloumi cheese in Cyprus.
Related saganaki recipes include shrimp saganaki (Greek γαρίδες σαγανάκι) and mussels saganaki (Greek μύδια σαγανάκι), which are typically Feta-based and include a spicy tomato sauce.
In some United States and Canadian restaurants, after being fried, it is flambéed at the table (typically with a shout of "opa!") and the flames then extinguished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This practice reportedly originated in the 1960s at The Parthenon restaurant in Chicago's Greektown
