Off-white Banner

What You Need:

Place the cheese in the center of the phyllo dough, and wrap the cheese in it (see video for more instruction). Use a dot of honey to secure the phyllo dough in place.

Add olive oil to a cast iron skillet. Add the phyllo wrapped feta. Fry for 2 minutes, until the phyllo browns and turns crispy.

Once crispy, use your tongs to flip the feta block to the other side. Fry on the other side until completely crispy.

Remove the cheese from the cast iron and place it in a serving dish. Drizzle it with honey and top it with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

HOW TO SERVE

You are going to want to eat this fried feta any way you can get it. We enjoyed it with fresh pita chips.

Expert Tip

If you are looking for other recipes to use up the remainder of your phyllo dough, make BUREK from Bosnia.

Expert Tip

Be careful when flipping your feta cheese as the phyllo dough can rip very easily.

Expert Tip

Add some lemon zest to the olive oil for a fresh zing! Thyme, black pepper, or even basil are also good!
