Baked Feta with Sesame & Honey
Blend the savory taste of salty cheese with the sweetness of honey to craft a dish that's greater than the sum of its parts. Rich and indulgent, serve it with warm pita bread.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted
- 200g block feta
- 2 tbsp honey plus, extra to serve
- 1 tsp roughly chopped oregano
- olive oil for drizzling
- warmed pitta breads to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, or if using an air-fryer, heat to 180C for 3 mins. 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 in the oven for 15-20 mins or cook in the air-fryer for 15 mins until the feta is soft, then drizzle with a little extra honey and serve with the pitta breads on the side.
