Ingredients

• 100 g Wheat flour ( for coating )
• 2 piece Egg ( beaten )
• 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil ( for frying )
• 4 tbsp Honey ( liquid )
• 60 g Walnut kernel ( crushed )
• 2 tsp Sesame seed optional ( plain )
• 2 pinch Thyme optional ( dried or fresh )
• 400 g Feta cheese ( drained )

Instructions

1. Breadcrumb preparation

   Beat the egg in a bowl. Prepare a plate with the wheat flour. Dry the feta block thoroughly with paper towels so the coating sticks perfectly.

2. Coating the cheese

   Pass the feta block through the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally through the flour again. The crust must be uniform without any gaps.

3. Pan frying

   Heat olive oil in a pan. When the oil shimmers, add the feta. Let it brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the crust is golden and rigid.

4. Finishing and serving

   Place the feta on a plate. Immediately pour the honey over it so it liquefies on contact with the heat. Sprinkle with crushed walnuts, sesame seeds, and a pinch of thyme.

Chef's tips

• Make sure the pan is very hot before adding the cheese to sear the crust instantly.
• Do not over-handle the block during cooking to prevent it from breaking.

Storage

Eat immediately. Feta hardens as it cools and loses its melting texture.
