Fried Feta with Sesame Seeds
Description
Feta cheese is transformed into a sweet and savory pan-fried appetizer by coating the slices with a sesame seed and flour blend and drizzling them with honey.
Ingredients
•
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese
•
2 large eggs
•
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup sesame seeds
•
1/3 cup oil for frying, or as needed
•
1/2 teaspoon honey, or to taste
Directions
1
Cut feta cheese into squares or rectangles about 1/2 inch thick.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
