Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare a small baking dish or line a tray with parchment paper.
Zest the 1/2 piece Lemon and finely chop the 4 gr Fresh Thyme.
Place the sliced 200 gr Feta Cheese into the prepared baking dish or onto the parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the feta becomes slightly golden and soft.
While the feta is baking, heat a small dry pan over medium heat.
Add the 2 tsp Sesame seeds and toast for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and fragrant.
Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the baked feta from the oven. Drizzle generously with 2 tbsp Honey.
Sprinkle with:
- the toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp Crushed Chili (optional)
- the lemon zest
- the chopped thyme
Serve warm immediately with toasted bread if desired, and an extra lemon wedge on the side.
