Thermador


Ingredients:

4-6 oz. Kasseri cheese
2 Tbsp. Metaxa or another brandy
Half lemon
Sliced baguette

Place 3/8” thick slices of cheese on an oven-going pan, skillet or pie plate. Broil in the Thermador oven on rack position 5 until cheese is soft and bubbles on the surface—7 minutes or so.

Heat the Metaxa in a pipkin on the cooktop and ignite; Pour over the cheese, swirling the pan to evaporate and burn the alcohol completely. Squeeze the lemon over the cheese and serve with thin slices of baguette: using a fork, cut off a bite of the cheese and place it atop each slice of bread. OPA!
