Ingredients

• 1 (approximately 8 ounces) block of feta cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pistachios

Directions

Step 1

Pat the block of feta cheese dry using a paper towel. Cut it in half lengthwise if it is very thick, so you have two thinner pieces.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In the third bowl, pour the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Dredge the feta cheese in the flour, coating all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Dip the floured feta into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 5

Press the feta into the panko breadcrumbs, coating all sides evenly. Gently press the breadcrumbs to ensure they adhere well.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded feta to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the feta for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the feta gently, as it can be delicate.

Step 8

Remove the feta from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.

Step 9

Drizzle the warm feta with honey, ensuring it is evenly spread.

Step 10

Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and chopped walnuts or pistachios over the top for added flavor and texture.

Step 11

Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers and enjoy!
