# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 7 oz (200 g) block-style feta cheese
→ Breading
02 - 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
03 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Topping & Garnish
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (parsley, dill or mint), finely chopped
09 - Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional)
→ For Baking
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, for drizzling or spraying
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush or spray the surface with olive oil.
02 - Slice the feta block into slabs or large cubes about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even coating and gentle handling.
03 - Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in a second bowl, and combine the panko with dried oregano and black pepper in a third bowl.
04 - Dredge each feta piece in flour, shake off excess, dip in the beaten eggs, then press into the panko mixture so all sides are evenly coated.
05 - Lay the breaded pieces on the prepared sheet with space between them. Lightly drizzle or spray the tops with olive oil to promote browning.
06 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the crust is golden and crisp.
07 - Transfer the hot pieces to a serving plate, drizzle with honey, scatter the chopped herbs and lemon zest if using, and serve immediately.
