Sesame crusted feta is one of my all time favorite appetizers! All you need is a block of feta, an egg, a flour, and sesame seeds. It is salty, crispy, and sweet with the honey that is drizzled on top! It takes less than 15 minutes to make and is a great appetizer or side dish.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Air Fryer
- Feta: Use a block of feta, not crumbled feta
- Flour: I used garbanzo bean flour, which is a thicker flour made from chickpeas
- Egg: this helps bind the sesame seeds to the feta
- Sesame Seeds
Tips:
- Place all your ingredients in separate bowls to do the dippingÂ
- Coat your feta first in flour, then in egg, then in the sesame seeds
- Air fryers differ based on size and brand, so timing may vary
- Adding honey on top of the baked feta adds sweetness to the saltiness of the cheese
- You can enjoy the recipe plain or spread it on toast or crackers
- You can swap out the garbanzo bean flour for regular flour or finely ground oat flourÂ
How to Store:
- I like to eat this fresh and right away, but it can be stored in a sealed airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
