A few tips:

• Use juicy and fresh figs and plums to get most possible taste out of them.
• Use a good quality feta cheese and not the cheaper once that can be both tasteless and dry.
• You can make this feta cheese in the oven or in an air fryer.
• The baking time will vary depending on if you use the oven or an air fryer. Bake the at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack in the oven or at 175 degrees for 7-12 minutes in an air fryer. You can check on it midway to see how it looks.
• If you make the feta cheese in the oven you can turn on the broiler for about 1-2 minutes in the end to get an even deeper golden brown color if needed. But make sure you keep an eye on the feta cheese constantly to make sure it doesn’t burn.
• If you don’t have fresh rosemary you can leave it out or replace it with fresh thyme instead.
• Drizzling the feta cheese with honey before serving it is optional, but highly recommended.
• You can use honey, agave or fiber syrup depending on what you prefer.
