Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Feta Rolls
  • 200 g Feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs panko preferred
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
For the Chili Honey
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 tsp Red pepper flakes or to taste

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Shallow dish
  • Large skillet
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese with the beaten egg. Mix well.
  2. In a separate shallow dish, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Form the feta mixture into small logs or balls. Roll each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  4. Place the coated feta rolls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  5. While the feta rolls are chilling, prepare the chili honey. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and red pepper flakes over low heat until warm and combined. Do not boil.
  6. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Carefully add the chilled feta rolls to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried feta rolls from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Arrange the fried feta rolls on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the prepared chili honey.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes to the honey. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for extra heat.
