Pan Fried Feta Cheese
Last weekend I made Tomato Jam and made this Pan Fried Feta Cheese recipe to go along with it.
Simple, fun snacks and appetizer recipes are my go to weekend meals. Sure you can make a great meal out of a few snacks.
I made crostini from a french baguette that I sliced, brushed with olive oil, and baked for five minutes.
Let me tell ya, it was SOOOOO good!
How to make Pan Fried Feta Cheese
This is an 8 oz block of feta cheese.
It was a little on the thick side, so I sliced it in half.
Just flip it on it’s side and slice right through with a sharp knife.
And now you have two thinner blocks of feta đŸ™‚
Set up your breading station just like this.
A cracked and beaten egg in one bowl.
And panko bread crumbs in another bowl.
Pour enough olive oil in a skillet to coat the bottom and set over medium heat.
Bread the feta by dipping in the egg first and then in the panko.
Gently flip the feta in each.
Then into the skillet with olive oil for about two minutes per side.
YUM!
This Pan Fried Feta Cheese is best served right away.
It’s a great addition to a charcuterie board!
The perfect bite for us was the ooey gooey feta on a piece of crostini with either the Tomato Jam or spicy honey!
