Description

Ingredients

• 200 grams feta cheese, drained and crumbled (about 7 ounces...whatever the standard size in the store is fine)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 - 2 tablespoons flour
• ¼ cup or more bread crumbs (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste
• vegetable oil (I used sunflower oil)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with a generous amount of oil (cover the bottom of the sheet)
• In a medium bowl mix the beaten egg, crumbled feta cheese and 1 tablespoon of flour together. Add more flour and/or bread crumbs as needed until the mix can be formed into balls that dont fall apart.
• Use a cookie scoop to portion the mix.
• Place the balls on the baking sheet and gently roll them around in the oil. Arrange them without touching and give each one a gentle pat to flatten it out slightly.
• Bake for 5 - 7 minutes on each side or until a pleasant golden brown color.
• Serve with slices of fresh lemon and pita bread.
