Description

Crispy, tangy feta bites coated in crushed pistachios, served with a warm blackberry honey sauce that’s sweet, fruity, and perfect for dipping.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz block feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Place the feta cubes on a paper towel-lined plate and let them dry for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with chopped pistachios.
  3. Dip each feta cube into flour, shaking off excess, then into egg, then roll in pistachios to coat evenly.
  4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the coated feta bites and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
  6. Serve the warm feta bites with the warm blackberry honey drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
