Place your semolina, sesame seeds and egg in 3 separate bowls. Lightly beat your egg. Set all three aside.
1/4 cup semolina, 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 large egg
If your feta was stored in brine and is wet, remove as much excess liquid as possible with a paper towel.
4 pieces Greek feta
In a frying pan large enough to fit 4 feta pieces at once, pour enough vegetable oil to completely cover the bottom of the pan; the oil should be approximately 1 centimeter deep.
Working one feta piece at a time, dip the feta into the egg, then into the semolina, ensuring that it is well coated on all sides. Dip the feta back into the egg, and then place it into the bowl with the sesame seeds. Ensure that it is coated with sesame seeds all around. Set aside in a clean plate, and repeat with the rest of the feta.
When all 4 feta pieces are ready, heat the oil in the pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the feta carefully. Cook on all sides for 1 – 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
When the feta is cooked, place it on a serving dish and pour the honey evenly over all the pieces. Sprinkles with the crushed walnuts. Serve immediately.
1/4 cup (60 mL) honey, 3 tbsp chopped walnuts
Enjoy!
