Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams of feta cheese, cut into small blocks
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon of paprika (optional for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
For Chili Honey Feta Sauce
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 1-2 teaspoons of chili flakes or sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Wrap each feta cheese block with a thin layer of puff pastry or pie dough if you prefer a more substantial bite, or keep it simple by coating directly for a more feta-centric flavor.
- Ensure the feta blocks are well sealed if using pastry to prevent melting out during baking.
- Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Roll each feta piece first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the breaded feta rolls on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Making the Chili Honey Feta Dipping Sauce
- Combine honey, chili flakes (or sriracha), and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Stir until well mixed to create a sweet, spicy, and tangy chili honey feta sauce.
- Adjust the level of spice or sweetness according to your taste preferences.
Notes
- For an extra crispy exterior, spray the feta rolls with olive oil before baking.
- The chili honey sauce can be customized by adjusting chili flakes or sriracha for spice level.
- Use fresh feta for best flavor and texture, and ensure the cheese is well sealed if wrapped in pastry.
