Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Kitchen paper
  • Slotted spoon
  • Small pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 blocks feta cheese (5x5x1cm), approx. 350g/12 ounces
  • 4 sheets phyllo pastry
  • 2 tbsps sesame seeds
  • 4 tbsps honey
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • To prepare this feta cheese appetizer, start by drying the feta with some kitchen paper. Use a knife to cut one phyllo sheet in the middle and brush with olive oil.
  • Place the 2 halves of phyllo one on top of each other and in the middle place one block of feta cheese.
  • Wrap the block of feta with the phyllo pastry, folding the edges over to form an "envelope" with your feta inside it. Continue with the rest of your feta blocks.
  • Warm up your frying pan heat on high heat. Add a good glug of olive oil, enough to cover half of your feta and phyllo blocks.
  • Fry your filo wrapped feta on both sides, until golden and crispy. Using a slotted spoon remove from the pan and let them rest on some kitchen paper.
  • Heat up a small pan, add the the honey, the red wine vinegar, the water, stir and bring it to a boil.
  • Drizzle the feta envelopes with the honey sauce and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Serve while still hot and enjoy one of the most delicious traditional Greek feta cheese appetizers!
