Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 slices of feta cheese 2-3 cm (about 1 inch) thick
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 200 g sesame seeds
  • pepper
  • sunflower oil for frying

For serving:

  • honey

Instructions
 

  • In 3 separate bowls, place the flour with a little pepper, lightly whisked eggs, and the sesame seeds.
  • Take each slice of feta and coat with the flour, cover with egg, and then with the sesame seeds.
  • Fry over medium heat until golden.
  • Serve with honey.

Notes

Be careful not to heat the oil too much because the sesame will burn and the cheese inside will not melt.
