Sesame Crusted Feta - Air Fryer

Mom said she would like something with melty cheese for lunch, so we tried this recipe.

 

  

Ingredients:

• 150g feta cheese (~5 ounces)
• 1 eggs
• .5 tsp of paprika
• .5 tsp of freshly ground pepper
• 30 g of flour, enough to coat the feta (1.5 ounces, 2 tablespons)
• 30 g (2 tbps) sesame seeds
• 2 tbsps of honey, warmed 
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat air fryer for 3 minutes at 400 degrees.
2. Spray a small piece of aluminum foil that fits the feta and your air fryer with cooking spray
   
3. Whip egg in a small bowl
   
4. Mix paprika, pepper, and flour together in small bowl
5. Pour sesame seeds in third small bowl
   
6. Cut feta into cubes or chunks, maybe 3/4" square
7. Coat each cube in egg, then in flour mix, back in egg, and then in sesame seeds
8. Place each cube on the foil, then place the foil in your air fryer
9. Bake for 5 - 7 minutes at 400 degrees, until cheese is melty enough for you
10. Splash with warm honey, then serve with crackers and veggies
    

 

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! This makes a 2 person lunch sized serving,

The soft salty feta and the honey had a nice contrast.
