Air Fryer Baked Feta Cheese

Air Fryer Baked Feta Cheese is a great and easy appetizer, served typically with diced cherry tomatoes. There is nothing better than a great dish of creamy hot and rich feta cheese surrounded by tomatoes.

This is one of my favorite appetizers, I grew up with many Greek friends, and they always had this at their house when I would go to a get-together or holiday. I love a typical Mediterranean dish that is simply prepared, and today, I drizzled some honey and olive oil over it with a dash of oregano, sea salt, and chili flakes.

I plan to use the leftovers to make Baked Feta Pasta, with hints of cherry tomatoes and oregano. Making this appetizer in either the air fryer or oven could not be any easier.

How To Make Air Fryer Baked Feta Cheese

This is a really simple dish, which all starts with a block of feta cheese. Which, I purchased in the grocery store, near the crumbled feta cheese.

Look for a block of feta cheese, which is usually sold in either olive oil or a water bath. Either one will work for this recipe, I chose the water bath one, since I knew I would be adding my own olive oil and honey, and I didn’t want to overpower the feta cheese.

Some Pro Tips For Making Air Fryer Baked Feta Cheese

• Use good quality Feta Cheese.
• Choose a Feta Cheese that has been water bathed rather than soaked in olive oil; otherwise, it will be too oily, as the feta cheese would have soaked up some of the oil.
• Experiment with herbs, any spices you like will go, I stuck with traditional Mediettrain apices, Oregano and Chili Flakes, but a few other options would be a cayenne pepper to add some spice.
• Check your feta cheese about halfway through the air fryer process so it doesn’t end up char. Remember, every air fryer is slightly different.
• Serve with fresh fruits and vegetables for a great appetizer.
