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: Cut the block of feta cheese into rectangular strips, making sure they are firm and uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- Coat the Feta: Dredge each feta strip first in the all-purpose flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with bread crumbs to create a crunchy crust when fried.
- Fry the Feta Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated feta rolls in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, which should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Make the Chili Honey: In a small saucepan, combine the honey and chili flakes. Heat gently over low heat until the flavors meld together and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm chili honey generously over the fried feta rolls just before serving to add a sweet-spicy glaze that complements the salty cheese and crunchy crust.
Notes
- Use firm feta to hold shape better during frying.
- Adjust chili flakes in the honey depending on your preferred spice level.
- Drain fried feta rolls well to keep them crispy and prevent sogginess.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
