Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Roughly chop the walnuts. Toast them in a dry saucepan over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
~5 min - 3
Cut the feta cheese into 1-inch cubes. Lightly drizzle each cube with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
~3 min - 4
Gently press the chopped walnuts onto all sides of each feta cube, ensuring a good coating. Place the coated feta cubes on the prepared baking tray.
~5 min - 5
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the feta is slightly softened and warmed through, and the walnuts are golden.
~10 min - 6
While the feta is baking, gently warm the honey in the same saucepan over low heat for about 1 minute until it's pourable. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves.
~2 min - 7
Remove the feta bites from the oven. Drizzle generously with the warm honey-thyme glaze just before serving.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey glaze for a subtle kick.
- These bites are best served warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
