ROASTED FETA WITH HONEY



Roasted Feta With Honey image

A drizzle of honey and a blast of heat transform a standard block of crumbly feta into an unexpectedly luscious, creamy spread for pita and vegetables. This, with a hunk of crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine, is the perfect warm weather supper. If you can't get your hands on thyme honey, the regular sort will do just fine.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 8-ounce slab Greek feta, blotted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Greek thyme honey, or other honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Greek-style pita bread, toasted and cut into wedges
Heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan lined with aluminum foil to help transfer the cheese to a plate after roasting. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Heat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush and then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve immediately with pita wedges and, if desired, sliced heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables.

FETA CHEESE FRENCH TOAST WITH SPICED HONEY SYRUP



Feta Cheese French Toast with Spiced Honey Syrup image

This does sound kind of crazy and to be honest, when I first tried it, I didn't think it would work, but oh, does it work well. It's one of the best French toasts I've ever had, especially with the spiced honey syrup we're going to serve it with, which was just an absolute perfect pairing.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     French Toast Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 (1 inch thick) slices stale French bread
4 ounces feta cheese, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
⅓ cup heavy cream
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons water
¼ teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes, or to taste
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place stale bread in a shallow dish just large enough to tightly fit the slices in one layer.
  • Whisk eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cayenne, and heavy cream for batter together in a bowl and pour over bread slices. Use tongs to toss to coat evenly. If there's excess batter pooling at the bottom of the dish, spoon it over the top of the bread slices.
  • Wrap and refrigerate until bread has absorbed all the batter or is fully saturated, 2 to 12 hours.
  • To make the honey syrup, combine honey, water, chili flakes, and salt in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and reserve until needed.
  • Remove bread from the refrigerator and press sliced feta into the top of each piece; about 2 tablespoons feta should almost cover the surface of each piece.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place in the bread, cheese-side down. Cook until the cheese has caramelized and the surface is well browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the slices over, reduce heat to medium, and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with the honey syrup spooned over top.

Yield Serves 16 to 20 as an hors d'oeuvre or 8 to 10 as a dessert

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 pound feta
1/3 cup honey

Steps:

  • With a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy skillet coarsely crack peppercorns.
  • Pat feta dry and put on a platter. In a measuring cup stir together pepper and honey and pour over feta.

Tips:

  • Choose the right feta. Look for a feta that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. Avoid feta made from cow's milk, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Use fresh feta. Fresh feta is softer and has a milder flavor than aged feta. It is also easier to cut and crumble.
  • Pair feta with the right ingredients. Feta pairs well with a variety of ingredients, including honey, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and grilled meats. It can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes.
  • Don't overcook feta. Feta should be cooked gently, as it can easily become rubbery if overcooked.
  • Store feta properly. Feta should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Feta with honey is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or dessert. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a dinner party, feta with honey is sure to please everyone at the table.
