Ingredients
  

12 oz block of feta cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

2 large eggs

1 tbsp olive oil

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Feta: Gently press the feta block with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This step helps in achieving extra crispiness when baked.

      Make the Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until well blended.

          Coat the Feta: Dip the entire feta block into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs to all sides. Aim for an even, thick layer of the crust.

            Bake the Feta: Place the coated feta block on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the feta from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into cubes, garnish with freshly chopped herbs, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve the crispy baked feta cubes warm, either as an appetizer, a party snack, or paired with crusty bread and veggies.
