Ingredients

  • 1 blockfeta cheese · 8 ounces, cut into 8 planks
  • 8 sheetsphyllo dough · thawed
  • 1 cupwalnuts · finely chopped
  • 1egg · beaten, for egg wash

For the Honey-Harissa Dip

  • 3 tbsphoney
  • 2 tspharissa

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Place one piece of feta near one edge of the sheet, then fold the phyllo over the feta, tucking in the sides like a small package. Repeat with the remaining feta planks and phyllo sheets.

  3. 3

    Beat the egg in a small bowl to make the egg wash. Place the chopped walnuts on a plate.

  4. 4

    Dip each phyllo-wrapped feta plank into the egg wash, coating all sides. Then dip the plank into the crushed walnuts, pressing gently to help the walnuts stick to the surface.

  5. 5

    Place the walnut-coated phyllo-wrapped feta on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    While the feta is baking, mix together the honey and harissa in a small bowl to make the dip.

  7. 7

    Remove the feta from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve the phyllo-wrapped feta with the honey-harissa dip on the side.
