Air fryer honey and thyme feta: 12 min at 180°C

Instructions

  • 1.Drain

    Drain and pat the feta dry.
    Place it in a small ovenproof dish suitable for your air fryer, leaving space around the dish in the basket.

  • 2.Season

    Drizzle with oil, add pepper and the leaves from two thyme sprigs.
    Save the honey and last sprig for finishing.
    Do not add salt; feta is already salty.

  • 3.Roast

    Air fry at 180°C for 12 minutes.
    Check after 10 minutes: the edges should turn light golden and the centre feel soft under a knife tip.
    Add 2 minutes if the block is still cold in the centre.

  • 4.Finish with honey

    Use oven gloves to remove the dish.
    Drizzle honey over the hot feta and add the remaining thyme.
    Serve with bread: feta keeps its shape but crumbles and spreads easily.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

Honey goes on last

Adding honey after cooking preserves its flavour and avoids a bitter crust.
Feta does not stretch like mozzarella; that is normal.

Fit the basket

Choose a dish just large enough for the block with room to catch its juices.
Do not put the cheese directly on the basket grate.

Useful accessory (Amazon affiliate link)

A silicone spatula helps with mixing or serving without damaging the coating.

Check as you cook

One 200 g block of feta in a small ovenproof dish.
Feta is hot and tender with pale golden edges; honey is added after cooking.
