Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Coating
- 1 block feta cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
Chili Honey Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
Frying
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Feta Cheese: Cut the block of feta cheese into rectangular strips, making them easy to coat and fry evenly.
- Coat the Feta: First, dredge each feta strip in all-purpose flour to help the egg stick. Then dip the floured strips into the beaten eggs. Finally, roll them in bread crumbs to create a crispy outer layer.
- Fry the Feta Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the coated feta strips and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Make the Chili Honey: In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and chili flakes together until they are well combined and fragrant. Do not boil; just warm enough to infuse the flavors.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm chili honey generously over the fried feta rolls just before serving to add a sweet and spicy kick.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey to control the heat level.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour and bread crumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
- Use fresh feta cheese for the best texture and flavor—avoid overly salty or crumbly varieties.
- If you want to reduce frying oil absorption, use a thermometer to keep oil at a steady medium temperature around 350°F (175°C).
- This recipe serves well as an appetizer or party snack and is best enjoyed immediately for maximum crunchiness.
