Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon honey, or to taste
• 0.33333334326744 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut feta cheese into squares or rectangles about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

Crack eggs into a bowl wide enough to fit the feta and beat lightly with a fork. Place flour on a plate. Place sesame seeds on a second plate.

Step 3

Coat each piece of feta in flour, then eggs, and then sesame seeds. Be sure to coat well with each step, so all sides are covered.

Step 4

Heat enough olive oil to shallow fry in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, carefully add the feta and fry until nicely golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and fry on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Drizzle honey on top and serve warm.
