Feta With Honey Food

ROASTED FETA WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan lined with aluminum foil to help transfer the cheese to a plate after roasting. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush and then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve immediately with pita wedges and, if desired, sliced heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables.

BAKED FETA WITH SESAME & HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the sesame seeds in a shallow dish and brush the block of feta all over with the honey. Carefully press the honey-coated feta into the sesame seeds, turning so that it's well crusted with seeds.
• Put the feta in a baking dish (it should fit snugly), then sprinkle over the oregano and a pinch of sea salt. Drizzle with some olive oil. Bake for 15-20 mins until the feta is soft, then drizzle with a little extra honey and serve with the pitta breads on the side.

FETA WITH HONEY

Steps:

• With a mortar and pestle or with the bottom of a heavy skillet, coarsely crack peppercorns.
• Pat feta dry and put on a platter.
• In a measuring cup stir together pepper and honey and pour over feta.

PHYLLO-WRAPPED GREEK BAKED FETA WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the center.
• Prepare the phyllo. Take each sheet of phyllo dough and spread it carefully on a clean surface or cutting board. Brush the surface of the phyllo facing you with extra virgin olive oil.
• Wrap the feta blocks in the phyllo. Now, add one block of cheese on top of the phyllo toward the bottom (the short end closest to you). Wrap the feta with the phyllo, folding the sides to almost cover the cheese. And again, brush the folded phyllo with olive oil as needed. Continue to wrap the phyllo around the cheese block, moving the cheese away from you. Repeat with the second block of feta and the remaining phyllo sheet. Brush the top layer with olive oil.
• Arrange the phyllo-wrapped feta, seam side down, on a small sheet pan.
• Bake. Bake in the heated oven for 20 minutes or until the phyllo is golden and crispy on both sides (if after 20 minutes, the bottom is fully golden and the top is not, carefully turn it over on the other side and return to the oven for another 5 minutes or so).
• Serve with honey. When ready, remove the baked feta from the oven and, using a spatula, carefully transfer to a serving plate. Immediately drizzle with the honey and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme for garnish. Serve!

FETA WITH ROSEMARY PEPPER HONEY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan combine honey, water, rosemary, and peppercorns and simmer, swirling pan occasionally, until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Cool honey to room temperature.
• Cut feta into thin slices and serve drizzled with honey.

FETA CHEESE FRENCH TOAST WITH SPICED HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Place stale bread in a shallow dish just large enough to tightly fit the slices in one layer.
• Whisk eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cayenne, and heavy cream for batter together in a bowl and pour over bread slices. Use tongs to toss to coat evenly. If there's excess batter pooling at the bottom of the dish, spoon it over the top of the bread slices.
• Wrap and refrigerate until bread has absorbed all the batter or is fully saturated, 2 to 12 hours.
• To make the honey syrup, combine honey, water, chili flakes, and salt in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and reserve until needed.
• Remove bread from the refrigerator and press sliced feta into the top of each piece; about 2 tablespoons feta should almost cover the surface of each piece.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place in the bread, cheese-side down. Cook until the cheese has caramelized and the surface is well browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the slices over, reduce heat to medium, and cook the other side until golden brown.
• Serve immediately with the honey syrup spooned over top.

CRISPY SESAME FETA FINGERS WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Slice feta into four fingers and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to help it hold its shape while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Set out egg, flour, and sesame seeds in three separate shallow dishes. Season egg with black pepper.
• Pour oil into a small skillet to a depth of about 1/2-inch. Heat over medium-high heat.
• Remove feta from freezer and dredge each finger first in egg, then flour, egg again, followed by sesame seeds. Evenly coat all sides. Add breaded fingers to the hot oil.
• Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from oil and briefly drain excess oil on kitchen paper.
• Place feta fingers on a serving plate and drizzle with honey. Enjoy straightaway while hot.

FETA WITH PEPPER HONEY

Steps:

• With a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy skillet coarsely crack peppercorns.
• Pat feta dry and put on a platter. In a measuring cup stir together pepper and honey and pour over feta.

BAKED FETA WITH BURST TOMATOES & CHILLI HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the feta in the centre of a baking dish, about 25cm x 20cm, and scatter the cherry tomatoes and red onion around the cheese.
• In a jug, whisk the olive oil with the garlic, chopped herbs, honey and some seasoning, then drizzle over the tomatoes and feta. Bake for 35-40 mins until the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and lightly golden. Drizzle with a little extra chilli fusion honey and olive oil to serve, alongside some crusty bread and a green salad.
