Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Wonton Wrappers (about 24 pieces)
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for frying or brushing)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (such as thyme or oregano), finely chopped
  • Pinch of Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with optional lemon zest, freshly chopped herbs, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir gently until combined but still chunky to keep texture.
  2. Assemble the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water using your fingertip, then fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or purse shape. Press the edges firmly to seal completely, ensuring no filling escapes during cooking.
  3. Cook the Wontons: Choose your preferred method: shallow fry in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until golden and crisp (about 2-3 minutes per side); or bake on a parchment-lined tray brushed with olive oil at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway; or air-fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even crisp.
  4. Make the Hot Honey Drizzle: Warm the honey gently in a small saucepan or microwave, then stir in red pepper flakes. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavors fully.
  5. Serve: Arrange the crispy wontons on a serving platter and drizzle generously with the spiced honey. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Seal the wonton edges well using a dab of water to prevent filling from leaking out during cooking.
  • Avoid overfilling the wontons to maintain crisp edges and avoid bursting.
  • Adjust the spiciness of the honey drizzle by steeping the red pepper flakes longer for more heat or straining them out for a milder taste.
  • If frying, make sure the oil temperature is about 350°F to achieve a crispy texture without sogginess.
  • For a healthier option, baking at high heat with an olive oil brush will deliver a similarly crispy result with less oil.
