    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. 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. 4

    Mix all ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be somewhat firm.

    ~2 min
  5. 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. 6

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the feta is slightly softened.

    Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey. Serve warm.

    ~1 min

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.
