👨‍🍳 Instructions

Cut cheese lengthwise into four 1/2-inch thick pieces.

Arrange in single layer in shallow dish.

Mix ouzo, olive oil, parsley, thyme and pepper in small bowl.

Pour over cheese.

Marinate at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours, turning once.

Preheat broiler.

Remove cheese from marinade; transfer to 4 small broiler proof gratin dishes.

Drizzle 2 teaspoons marinade over each piece of cheese.

Broil until cheese is soft and just begins to melt, about 4 minutes.

Serve with bread.

Notes: This starter is an easy version of the fried cheese dish, saganaki, which is traditionally paired with a glass of ouzo.
