Scale

Ingredients

  • 200g feta cheese block
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the feta cheese evenly.
  2. Prepare the feta: Place the feta cheese block in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil to keep it moist while baking.
  3. Bake the feta: Bake the feta in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until it becomes soft and slightly golden on top.
  4. Toast sesame seeds: While the feta is baking, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.
  5. Add toppings and serve: Remove the feta from the oven, drizzle honey evenly over it, and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
  • For more texture, add crushed red pepper flakes along with sesame seeds.
  • Use a high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor and creaminess.
  • Serve immediately while the feta is warm and soft for optimal taste and texture.
