This was a fun and easy recipe to make. The cheese was crispy and delicious, and the lemon and oregano added a nice touch. I would definitely make this again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cheese was not too overpowering, and the lemon and oregano really helped to balance out the flavors. I would definitely make this again.

I've made saganaki many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the white wine really takes it to the next level. I highly recommend trying this recipe!

This was my first time making saganaki and it turned out perfectly! The cheese was crispy and flavorful, and the lemon and oregano added a delicious brightness. I served it with pita bread and a simple salad, and it was a hit with my family.
