Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block of feta cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the block of feta cheese into long strips, approximately 1-inch wide.
- Dredge each feta strip in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Roll the feta strips in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coat.
- Place the coated feta strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzling a little olive oil on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- While the feta rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey. In a small saucepan, heat the honey over low heat and stir in the chili flakes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to infuse the honey with the chili flavor.
- Once the feta rolls are done baking, remove from the oven and drizzle the chili honey over the top.
- Serve warm and enjoy these deliciously crispy feta rolls!
Notes
- If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of chili flakes or omit them altogether for a sweet honey drizzle.
- You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or ricotta, for variations on this dish.
- If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can spray the feta rolls with olive oil before baking instead of drizzling them.
