GREEK FETA SAGANAKI
Saganaki is a cheese-based Greek appetizer. The original Greek version is typically fried. The cheese is typically made from sheep's milk. Delicious regional variations include the use of Formaella cheese in Arachova and cheese in Cyprus. In the United States, saganaki is made differently. Instead of being fried, the cheese is usually covered with Brandy extract, and set aflame at the table when served (typically with a shout of "Opa"). The cheese is then extinguished with the juice of a fresh-squeezed lemon and sometimes served with pita bread. The invention of the "Flaming Saganaki" is usually attributed to Chicago restaurateur Chris Liakouras. What we're going to be making is a pan-fried version with slices of ripe tomatoes.

BROILED FETA-SAGANAKI
Use cooking times as guidelines and check the feta often as it cooks. Cutting the feta into 1/2-inch-thick slabs is crucial here; if sliced thinner, the cheese will crumble apart, but if sliced thicker, it will not heat through. Serve with wedges of warm pita bread

- Adjust an oven rack 4 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler. Pat the feta dry with paper towels and place on a foil-lined baking sheet (or in a broiler-safe gratin dish). Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and ground black pepper. Broil until the edges of the cheese are golden, 3 to 8 minutes. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately.
