Baked Feta in a Sesame Crust with Honey & Truffle
If cheese is life, melted cheese must be heaven, right? So let’s coat some feta in a sesame crust, drizzle it with honey (because sweet and savoury combinations are just the best) and bake it until the feta is nicely warm and soft inside and crunchy on the outside. If you are as obsessed with truffle as I am, drizzle the feta with some truffle oil et voila: you’ve got the perfect addition to your cheese platter or just a nice sharing dish in case sharing is an option here. Let me know, how you liked it.
