Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, sliced into thick rounds
  • 6 oz (170g) block feta cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1–2 tbsp Greek olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (optional)
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (or honey combined with chili flakes)
  • 1 tbsp roasted crushed walnuts (optional topping)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber: Slice the cucumber into thick bite-size rounds and pat each slice dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring the feta sits firmly without sliding.
  2. Cube the feta: Cut the feta cheese block into small cubes that will fit nicely atop each cucumber round.
  3. Assemble the bites: Place one cube of feta cheese on top of each cucumber slice.
  4. Season the bites: Drizzle each assembled bite lightly with Greek olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano, freshly cracked black pepper, and optional chopped fresh dill for added aroma and flavor.
  5. Add the hot honey drizzle: Drizzle each piece generously with hot honey to impart a sweet and spicy contrast to the savory feta.
  6. Finish with toppings: Optionally, top each bite with roasted crushed walnuts for extra crunch and texture, then serve immediately to enjoy freshness.

Notes

  • Patting the cucumber dry is crucial to prevent sogginess and keep bites firm.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your spice preference; substitute chili flakes mixed into honey if hot honey is unavailable.
  • Fresh dill adds a lovely herbal note but can be omitted based on taste or availability.
  • These bites are best served immediately to maintain crispness.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or substitute with toasted seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
