Add a little bit of milk to the beaten eggs.

Preheat olive oil in a pan.

Cut the cassetti cheese into quarter-inch pieces.

Dip the cheese pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them with flour.

Place the coated cheese in the cooler to harden (preferably overnight).

Once the oil is hot, drop the cheese into the pan.

Cook the cheese for 2 to 3 minutes, turning each side until lightly browned.

Add a little Brandy and lemon to the pan to flame the cheese.

Light the cheese on fire and serve.
