Combining the creamy richness of EPIROS feta cheese, the sweetness of honey, and the crunch of sesame seeds, this dish offers a delightful blend of flavours and textures. Perfect for entertaining guests or indulging in a quick and satisfying bite!
Ingredients:
- 300 gr Epiros feta cheese or any feta cheese from our Epiros selection
- 1 package of Filo Pastry Kanaki (Filo Kroustas)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Frying oil or extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Feta: Start by cutting the EPIROS feta cheese into thin, rectangular pieces. The size should be just right to wrap them easily, ensuring each bite is full of creamy feta goodness.
- Wrap It Up: Take a wrap and place a piece of feta cheese in the centre. Carefully fold the wrap over the feta, creating a neat envelope. Ensure the edges are sealed properly to prevent the cheese from leaking out while frying.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. You can use either frying oil or extra virgin olive oil for a richer flavour. The oil should be hot enough to fry but not too hot to burn the wraps.
- Fry to Perfection: Once the oil is hot, gently place the feta-wrapped parcels into the pan. Fry them until the wraps turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain the Wraps: Once golden and crispy, remove the wraps from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil and keep them nice and crispy.
- Add the Finishing Touch: While the wraps are still hot, drizzle them generously with honey. The heat will slightly melt the honey, creating a glossy, sweet glaze. Sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds over the top for a nutty crunch and added texture.

Serve these crispy feta wraps immediately while they’re still warm and gooey inside. They pair wonderfully with a fresh side salad, some olives, or even a light yoghurt dip for added flavour.
