Fried feta with honey is a popular Greek dish that can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. The dish typically involves frying a block of feta cheese until it’s crispy and golden brown, then drizzling it with honey and serving it with bread or crackers.
This dish is perfect for serving at parties or gatherings, as it’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It’s also a great option for a quick and satisfying snack or light meal.
Overall, fried feta with honey is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served on many occasions, from casual get-togethers to more formal events.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add enough olive oil to come up 1/4 inch deep in the pan. Heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the feta, spooning the hot oil over the top. Fry for 1 minute then check for color; it should be light golden brown with no burning of the sesame seeds.
Plate the fried feta and drizzle generously with honey. Place some peeled pistachios and rose petals around and top of the feta. Garnish with a fresh oregano sprig, which can be torn and eaten with the feta.
