Hot Manuka Honey Feta Brûlée

Hot Manuka Honey:

Feta Brûlée:

  • 1 block authentic greek feta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Homemade Hot Manuka Honey
  • 1-2 tsp granulated sugar 
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • fresh thyme

Hot Honey Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, combine manuka honey, red pepper flakes and hot sauce.
  2. Stir well on low heat, once it starts to bubble up (around 3 minutes) turn the heat off and continue to stir.
  3. Strain the honey over a mesh sieve to remove the pepper flakes and transfer to a jar to cool. Set aside.

Feta Brûlée Instructions:

  1. Remove the feta block from the brine and pat dry with a paper towel. Place parchment in your air-fryer and place feta in the middle. Brush with olive oil and cook at 380F for 10 minutes. Let cool and then carefully remove from the air-fryer.
  2. Place the feta block on a heat-resistant plate. Drizzle a generous layer of hot manuka honey over the feta and spread evenly. 
  3. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the honey in an even layer. Immediately use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar until it starts to caramelize and bubble. 
  4. Top with chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Garnish with fresh thyme.
  5. Your Hot Manuka Honey Feta Brûlée is now ready to be savored. Serve it immediately with freshly baked crostinis, crackers, or pita chips to allow the warm and creamy feta to contrast with the sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy flavors of the honey.
