Description
A vibrant, shareable appetizer featuring creamy feta cheese drizzled with spicy honey and topped with crispy fried onions, served alongside olives, tomatoes, and warm pita bread.
Ingredients
- 1 block (8 oz) Greek feta cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup mixed olives (Kalamata and green)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh oregano for garnish
- 4 pieces pita bread, warmed
Instructions
- Place the feta block on a serving board or plate. In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat, stir in red pepper flakes, and let infuse for 5 minutes, then set aside.
- In a bowl, toss the sliced onions with flour and salt until coated. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, fry onions in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
- Arrange olives, cherry tomatoes, and warm pita bread around the feta on the board. Drizzle the feta with extra virgin olive oil and the prepared hot honey.
- Top the feta with the crispy fried onions and garnish with fresh oregano. Serve immediately while the onions are still crispy.
