Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper.

Toast the walnuts in a dry small saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Let them cool slightly then roughly chop.
~5 min - 4
Bake the feta for 10-12 minutes, or until it's softened and slightly golden around the edges.
~12 min - 5
While the feta is baking, gently warm the honey in the same small saucepan over low heat for about 1 minute. Do not boil.
~2 min - 6
Remove the feta from the oven. Drizzle generously with the warm honey and sprinkle with the toasted chopped walnuts.
~1 min - 7
Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey before warming it.
