Have you ever made baked feta cheese? It’s divine! It becomes warm, soft, mouth melting and absolutely delicious. But what’s even better is crusted baked feta cheese! Because not only do you get that wonderful warm, soft and mouth melting inside, you also get a lovely and crunchy outside that makes the most divine combination with the feta cheese. This feta cheese is crusted with sesame seeds, which adds a lovely nutty flavor and makes it incredibly crunchy. To put some icing on the case I also drizzled a generous amount of honey/fiber syrup on it. The honey makes a lovely sweet contrast to the savory feta cheese and nutty sesame seeds. Not only does this taste amazing, it is also really easy to make and ready in only 10-15 minutes.

A few tips:

• Make sure to pat dry the feta cheese well before covering it with flour and the rest of the crust ingredients.
• You can use almond flour for a grain and low carb version or gluten free all purpose flour if grain and low carb is not required.
• Make sure to covered the whole feta cheese in all three crust ingredients to make sure you get an even and wholy covered feta cheese.
• You can drizzle the feta cheese with some olive oil to make it extra crunchy and golden brown, you don’t need to use that much oil at all. But you can also skip the oil.
• I made my feta cheese in my air fryer, baking it on 190 degrees Celsius for about 8-10 minutes. The baking time will vary a bit depending on which air fryer you’re using.
• You can also make this feta cheese in the oven. Bake it at 200 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes, until the sesame seeds are golden brown.
• Make sure to keep an eye on the feta cheese so it doesn’t burn.
• I topped my feta cheese with fiber syrup, which really makes a lovely contrast to the savory feta cheese and nutty sesame seeds. But this part is optional.
• Do not prepare the feta cheese in advance. It should be freshly baked to serve it warm and assuring the feta cheese is soft.
