This recipe was a disaster. The cheese burned and the lemon sauce curdled.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The cheese was not very flavorful and the lemon sauce was not tangy enough.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cheese was too oily and the lemon sauce was too sour.

I was a bit hesitant to try this dish because I'm not a huge fan of cheese, but I'm so glad I did. The cheese was perfectly crispy and the lemon sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I tried making saganaki for the first time last night and it turned out great! The cheese was perfectly melted and the lemon-butter sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

Saganaki is one of my favorite dishes to make. It's so simple, yet so delicious. The cheese gets perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I love serving it with pita bread and a squeeze of lemon.
