Fried Feta with Sesame Crust

Serving: Serve the fried feta as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a mezze platter. It pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables, olives, or a simple salad.
Storage: Fried feta is best served immediately. However, if you need to store it, place the leftover feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, briefly fry it again in a hot pan to maintain its crispy texture.
Variations
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle the sesame-coated feta with a pinch of red pepper flakes or paprika before frying for a spicy twist.
Herb-Infused: Add dried oregano or thyme into the sesame seeds for extra flavor.
