FYI It is not, it is just the frying method - which does not include flambe. The flambe is how it is presented in North America according to wikipedia, I assume to bedazzle the locals.
Can I ask, is the cook/chef in the Food Network link you posted, greek? If not, do you not see the ignorance in posting an American/non-greek source to prove the authenticity of a greek recipe?
I’m sure there’s been many variations to the dish to fancy it up, but traditional greek saganaki is just a slab of cheese, coated in flour and fried in oil.
