Fried Feta With Honey And Sesame Seeds Recipes

Steps:

• Cut feta cheese into squares or rectangles about 1/2 inch thick.
• Crack eggs into a bowl wide enough to fit the feta and beat lightly with a fork. Place flour on a plate. Place sesame seeds on a second plate.
• Coat each piece of feta in flour, then eggs, and then sesame seeds. Be sure to coat well with each step, so all sides are covered.
• Heat enough olive oil to shallow fry in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, carefully add the feta and fry until nicely golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and fry on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Drizzle honey on top and serve warm.

Steps:

• Slice feta into four fingers and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to help it hold its shape while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Set out egg, flour, and sesame seeds in three separate shallow dishes. Season egg with black pepper.
• Pour oil into a small skillet to a depth of about 1/2-inch. Heat over medium-high heat.
• Remove feta from freezer and dredge each finger first in egg, then flour, egg again, followed by sesame seeds. Evenly coat all sides. Add breaded fingers to the hot oil.
• Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from oil and briefly drain excess oil on kitchen paper.
• Place feta fingers on a serving plate and drizzle with honey. Enjoy straightaway while hot.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the sesame seeds in a shallow dish and brush the block of feta all over with the honey. Carefully press the honey-coated feta into the sesame seeds, turning so that it's well crusted with seeds.
• Put the feta in a baking dish (it should fit snugly), then sprinkle over the oregano and a pinch of sea salt. Drizzle with some olive oil. Bake for 15-20 mins until the feta is soft, then drizzle with a little extra honey and serve with the pitta breads on the side.
