Ingredients
Scale
Feta Rolls
- 1 block feta cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Chili Honey
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the feta strips: Cut the block of feta cheese into rectangular strips, suitable for rolling and frying.
- Coat the feta: Dredge each feta strip first in the all-purpose flour, ensuring an even light coating. Next, dip each strip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the bread crumbs to form a crunchy crust.
- Fry the rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully fry the coated feta rolls until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove them from oil and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Prepare the chili honey: In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and chili flakes together until well combined and infused, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm chili honey generously over the fried feta rolls just before serving to add a delightful sweet and spicy finish.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-fry the feta rolls as the cheese can melt too much and break apart.
- You can adjust the amount of chili flakes in the honey to control the spice level to your preference.
- Use fresh bread crumbs for a crispier texture if possible.
- This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crispy exterior and the creamy feta interior.
