Prepare a slab of feta cheese, approximately 150 grams.

In a bowl, scramble 3 eggs and add chili flakes and black pepper, without adding salt.

Pat the feta dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Coat the feta in flour, ensuring it's dry before dipping into the egg mixture.

Dip the flour-coated feta into the egg mixture, making sure it's completely coated.

In a shallow dish, place about 1 cup of sesame seeds.

Carefully coat the egg-covered feta in the sesame seeds, ensuring it's evenly covered.

Heat a 12-inch pan and add 1 cup of olive oil for shallow frying.

Place the sesame-crusted feta in the pan and fry for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once cooked, drizzle honey over the fried feta before serving.
