# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 7 oz block feta cheese
→ Breading
02 - 2 large eggs
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, finely chopped (parsley, dill, or mint)
09 - Zest from 1/2 lemon (optional)
→ For Baking
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling or spraying)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush or spray the surface with olive oil.
02 - Trim the feta block into slabs or large cubes approximately 1/2 inch thick, taking care to keep edges intact to reduce crumbling.
03 - Arrange three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko combined with oregano and black pepper in the third.
04 - Dredge each feta piece in flour, shake off excess, dip into the beaten eggs, then press firmly into the panko mixture to achieve an even crust on all sides.
05 - Place the breaded pieces on the prepared sheet spaced slightly apart. 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 and the cheese is warmed through.
07 - Transfer to a serving plate while warm, drizzle with honey, scatter chopped herbs and lemon zest if using, and serve immediately.
