Fried Feta with Honey and Sesame (Feta Saganaki)
If you haven’t tried fried feta yet, you are in for a special treat! Olive oil fried feta with a crispy sesame crust and a drizzle of good honey makes a decadent appetizer in about 10 minutes!

I always have a block of good feta cheese in my fridge. It's my secret ingredient to elevate a salad, to crumble over tomatoes or saucy shrimp, or even to slice up and bake with salmon and vegetables for dinner (yes, it’s a great sheet-pan situation to try soon!).
