Ingredients
⅓ cup toasted sesame seeds
1 ½ teaspoons ground sumac
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
1 pound mild feta, cut into ¾-inch cubes
Directions
Cut the mild feta into ¾-inch cubes and place them on a clean cutting board or serving surface.
In a small bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, ground sumac, and flaky sea salt, stirring gently to mix the seasonings evenly.
Roll or gently press each feta cube into the sesame-sumac mixture, coating all sides thoroughly. Work in batches if needed to ensure even coverage.
Arrange the coated bites on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Comments
Sumac is the sticking point—you'll need to hit Harris Teeter or Kroger's spice aisle for it, a real detour if you're stocking a weeknight dinner. The other three ingredients (sesame seeds, sea salt, feta) are stocked everywhere, and at roughly $8–10 total for eight bites, the cost per serving hovers around $1.25, which is reasonable for an appetizer. The stated 5 minutes is honest if you're simply mixing seeds and sumac, crumbling feta onto them, and calling it done, but there's no detail on portion size, plating, or whether these stay crisp or go soft as they sit. This works as a cocktail-hour nibble or a quick mezze plate, but don't count on leftovers—once assembled, these are best eaten the same evening.
