Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut feta into 0.5-inch-thick slices or cubes. Pat completely dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Coat feta pieces lightly in flour, shaking off excess.

  3. Step 3

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear feta 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on edges. Don't move pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Warm honey with red pepper flakes in a small bowl or the pan's edge for 30 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer feta to a plate, drizzle with hot honey, scatter crushed walnuts on top. Serve with crackers.
