Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 block feta cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) chili flakes
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cut feta cheese into uniform rectangular shapes to ensure even cooking and consistent appearance.
- Gently dunk each feta piece into olive oil, ensuring complete surface coverage for optimal crispiness.
- Roll the oil-coated feta in bread crumbs, pressing lightly to create a uniform, adherent coating.
- Arrange breaded feta rectangles on prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight spacing between pieces.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the tray midway to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
- While feta bakes, combine honey and chili flakes in a small saucepan, warming gently to create a spicy-sweet drizzle.
- Remove feta from oven when edges turn crisp and golden, allowing brief cooling time.
- Transfer rolls to serving plate and generously drizzle with prepared chili honey.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the rolls for a vibrant, aromatic finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality, firm feta cheese for the best texture and crispy coating.
- Pat the feta dry before coating to help breadcrumbs stick more effectively.
- Experiment with different types of breadcrumbs like panko or seasoned Italian crumbs for varied flavors.
- Adjust chili flakes based on personal heat preference, using mild or spicy varieties to customize the honey drizzle.
