Golden Honey Feta (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Feta in Honey Wrap
01 -
125 g of plain butter, melted and slightly cooled
02 -
3 tbsp of top-quality olive oil, extra virgin
03 -
8 large sheets of filo dough
04 -
4 thick slices of feta cheese (each 1 cm thick and 10 cm x 8 cm)
05 -
250 ml of nice honey for drizzling
06 -
Sprinkle of black sesame seeds for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Switch your fan oven to 180°C (320°F) and let it warm up.
02 -
Pop butter into a microwave-safe jug and melt it in quick short bursts. Let it cool, mix in the olive oil, and set aside for later.
03 -
Take one filo sheet and lay it out flat. Brush it lightly with the butter mixture, add another layer on top, and repeat the brushing.
04 -
Put a piece of feta cheese closer to one end of the filo. Fold partway over the cheese, brush with more butter, and roll it almost closed. Finish by brushing the edge and pressing to seal it up.
05 -
Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry ends into neat triangles. Brush all the edges with butter and fold them securely around the cheese.
06 -
Lay the feta parcels on a tray, brush them with extra butter, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top, and cook for about 15 minutes until golden.
07 -
While still warm, drizzle with a bit of honey and finish with more sesame seeds for garnish.
# Notes:
01 -
Filo dough straight from the freezer takes roughly an hour to thaw, and it needs to be kept under a clean towel to stop it from drying.
02 -
Greek feta works best, but Aussie feta is fine too—just expect it to taste saltier.
03 -
You can freeze these ahead of time, then bake them after defrosting for about 30 minutes.
