Saganaki is a great way to use up leftover cheese. I usually have a few odds and ends in my fridge, and saganaki is a great way to use them up and create a delicious meal.

The flaming presentation of saganaki is quite a sight to behold. It's like a mini fireworks show right at your table. And the taste is just as impressive - the cheese is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
