Steps:
- 1. Heat thin layer of olive oil in frying pan (until tiny bubbles begin to rise)
- 2. Beat egg and milk together. Dip cheese in egg mixture and then into flour.
- 3. Fry until golden brown (appox. 3-5 minutes per side)
- 4. Place on a metal plate. Bring over to your guests who will be wowed. :) Pour the brandy over the cheese and light it as you say Oompa! (Careful, it flames up high!) To put out flame, squeeze lemon over the cheese after the flames settle a bit. Bon Appetit!
