Greek Feta Cheese Wrapped with Phyllo, Honey and Sesame Seeds
One of the most delicious traditional Greek feta cheese appetizers - blocks of feta wrapped in phyllo, fried until golden and crispy, then drizzled with a honey and red wine vinegar sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Ingredients
| 4 (approx. 350 g) | Blocks of feta cheese (5x5x1 cm) | |
| 4 | Phyllo pastry sheets | |
| 2 tbsp | 30 ml | Sesame seeds |
| 4 tbsp | 60 ml | Honey |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | Red wine vinegar |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | Water |
| — | Olive oil, for frying |
Instructions
- To prepare this feta cheese appetizer, start by drying the feta with some kitchen paper. Use a knife to cut one phyllo sheet in the middle and brush with olive oil.
- Place the 2 halves of phyllo one on top of the other and in the middle place one block of feta cheese.
- Wrap the block of feta with the phyllo pastry, folding the edges over to form an "envelope" with your feta inside it. Continue with the rest of your feta blocks.
- Warm up your frying pan on high heat. Add a good glug of olive oil, enough to cover half of your feta and phyllo blocks.
- Fry your filo-wrapped feta on both sides, until golden and crispy. Using a slotted spoon remove from the pan and let them rest on some kitchen paper.
- Heat up a small pan, add the honey, the red wine vinegar and the water, stir and bring it to a boil.
- Drizzle the feta envelopes with the honey sauce and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Serve while still hot and enjoy one of the most delicious traditional Greek feta cheese appetizers!
