Description
A vibrant, shareable appetizer featuring creamy feta cheese drizzled with spicy hot honey and topped with crispy fried onions, served alongside fresh vegetables, olives, and warm pita bread.
Ingredients
- 1 block (8 oz) Greek feta cheese
- 1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup mixed olives (Kalamata and green)
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh oregano leaves for garnish
- Warm pita bread or flatbread for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the crispy fried onions: In a bowl, toss the sliced onion with flour, paprika, and salt until evenly coated. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onions in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the board: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a large serving board or platter. Arrange the olives, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices around the feta.
- Drizzle and garnish: Warm the hot honey slightly if it's too thick, then drizzle it generously over the feta cheese. Scatter the crispy fried onions on top and sprinkle with fresh oregano leaves.
- Serve immediately with warm pita bread or flatbread on the side for dipping and scooping.
