Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
~5 min - 2
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
~7 min - 3
In a mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the chopped toasted walnuts, finely chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and black pepper.
~3 min - 4
Mix all ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be somewhat firm.
~2 min - 5
Using your hands or two spoons, form small bite-sized balls or mounds from the feta mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
~5 min - 6
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the feta is slightly softened.
~12 min - 7
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey. Serve warm.

Tips
- For a deeper flavor, you can add a pinch of dried oregano or thyme to the mixture. Ensure walnuts are fully cooled before chopping to avoid them turning into a paste.
- These are best served warm, but can be enjoyed at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently if desired.
