Is Fried Feta A Good Appetizer?
I love cheese. I’m so glad that cheese is a low-carb food and is a Keto safe food because I absolutely love it. My stomach doesn’t like milk, but butter, cream, cheese, and cream cheese are where it’s at for me.
This Air Fried Feta is absolutely delicious and comes together with very little time or preparation. It’s actually a perfect last-minute company dish because really, Feta keeps forever, and as long as you have a chunk of that in your fridge, a few minutes, and you could be snacking on something that tastes like it took a while to put together.
This is best served with pita chips, nut and seed bread , low carb crackers , or even rounds of fresh pita bread. It makes an excellent appetizer , snack , or a little late-night treat for when you’re feeling hungry.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 8 ounces Feta Cheese - The star of the dish. Feta turns warm, creamy, and slightly caramelized in the air fryer while retaining its shape. Its salty tang perfectly balances the sweetness of the honey drizzle.
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil - Coats the feta and helps it crisp slightly on the outside while preventing it from drying out. It also adds rich, fruity flavor and encourages even browning in the air fryer.
- 1 tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper - Adds a gentle heat that contrasts beautifully with the sweet honey and salty feta, giving the dish a savory-spicy kick.
- 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano - Brings a classic Mediterranean aroma and earthy flavor that pairs naturally with feta cheese and olive oil.
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or ChocZero Syrup for Keto) - Drizzled over the warm feta to create a luscious sweet-and-salty glaze. The honey caramelizes slightly from the heat, giving the dish a glossy finish and irresistible flavor balance.
How To Make Fried Feta Cheese
DO NOT put this directly into your Air Fryer. You will need to put the cheese in an oven-safe container and then put it in your Air Fryer to cook. Otherwise, your Air Fryer will be full of cheese, which sounds delicious, but would be a crazy hard mess to clean.
- Slice. Cut the block of feta in half, and then cut each thinner slice half to yield 4 pieces.
- Season. Arrange these on a heat-proof serving dish. Drizzle the cheese with olive oil, using a silicone basting brush to spread the oil evenly. Then sprinkle the red pepper flakes and oregano. Top with honey using a silicone basting brush to spread the honey around evenly.
- Air Fry. Place the dish in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400F for 10 minutes.
- Baste and serve. Remove when done, use the basting brush to spread any oil and honey that has rendered to the bottom, and serve.
Tips And Tricks
Making Air Fried Feta with Honey is all about achieving that perfect balance of creamy, salty, and sweet while keeping the cheese intact and beautifully golden. These tips will help you get it just right every time:
- Use a whole block of feta, not crumbled. Crumbled feta will melt unevenly and won’t hold its shape in the air fryer.
- Pat the feta dry before air frying. Removing excess moisture helps it crisp on the outside and prevents sogginess.
- Coat generously with olive oil. The oil protects the cheese from drying out and promotes even browning.
- Watch the cook time closely. Feta can go from perfectly soft to overdone quickly. Check after 6–8 minutes.
Variations
Sweet, savory, and endlessly versatile, Air Fried Feta with Honey can be transformed in so many delicious ways. These variations let you experiment with flavors, textures, and toppings to make this simple dish your own:
- Spicy Chili Honey Feta - Add a drizzle of chili-infused honey or sprinkle extra crushed red pepper before air frying for a fiery-sweet twist.
- Nut-Crusted Feta - Coat the feta in a thin layer of crushed pistachios, walnuts, or almonds mixed with olive oil for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
- Garlic Honey Feta - Add a small amount of minced garlic or garlic powder before air frying to infuse the olive oil with rich, aromatic depth.
What To Eat With Feta Psiti
Air Fryer Feta with Honey is wonderfully versatile. Its balance of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors makes it a perfect companion to many dishes. Here are some delicious ways to serve and enjoy it:
- Crusty Bread or Pita - Serve with warm baguette slices, pita bread, or crostini for dipping into the melty feta and honey glaze.
- Fresh Fruit - Pair with figs, pears, apples, or grapes. Their natural sweetness complements the salty feta beautifully.
- Charcuterie Board - Add it to a cheese board with prosciutto, olives, nuts, and crackers for a sophisticated appetizer.
How Long Does It Last?
Air Fried Feta with Honey is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers for later. Once cooled, place the feta in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
The texture will firm up as it chills, so reheat it in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes until warm and slightly softened again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the cheese rubbery and the honey overly runny. If possible, drizzle fresh honey just before serving to restore that glossy, caramelized finish.
Can You Freeze It?
Freezing Fried Cheese isn’t recommended. Feta cheese tends to lose its creamy texture and become crumbly or grainy after thawing, while the honey glaze can separate and turn watery.
