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.
Silicone air fryer spatula.
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.
