Feta Cheese Bites with Pistachio Crunch & Blackberry Honey

Ingredients

• 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the flour, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and oregano. Mix thoroughly until combined.
3. Form the feta mixture into small balls or bite-sized discs, about 1 inch wide.
4. In a separate bowl, combine chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and salt. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
5. Roll each feta bite in the pistachio mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
6. Place the coated feta bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
7. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, honey, and lemon juice to prepare the drizzle.
