Steps
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Place the block of feta cheese on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in an oven-safe dish.
Baking
Drizzle the feta cheese with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and the optional chili flakes. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and the top is lightly golden brown.
Serving
Remove the baked feta from the oven and immediately drizzle generously with honey. Serve warm with fresh bread or pita.
Extra Tips
► Serve with fresh, crusty bread or pita to soak up every drop of the sweet and salty goodness.
► A pinch of fresh oregano or thyme also pairs wonderfully if you enjoy herbal flavors.
► Don't overbake the feta; you want it to be creamy inside with a nicely browned top.
