Ingredients
- 3 1/2 oz feta cheese
- 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 fresh figs
- 1 tsp honey
- 4 leaf fresh mint leaves
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- 2Place the fig halves, cut side up, on the prepared tray and drizzle with the honey; set aside.
- 3In a shallow dish, combine the toasted sesame seeds with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 4Brush each feta slice lightly with olive oil on both sides, then press the slices into the sesame‑seed mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- 5Arrange the sesame‑crusted feta slices on a separate part of the baking tray, leaving space between them.
- 6Roast the figs for 5‑7 minutes, until they begin to soften and caramelize.
- 7Add the feta to the oven and roast for an additional 8‑10 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the sesame coating is crisp.
- 8Remove both figs and feta from the oven; let the feta cool for 2 minutes so the crust sets.
- 9Assemble the lunchbox: place the crispy sesame feta on one side, the warm roasted figs on the other, and drizzle any remaining honey over the figs.
- 10Garnish with chopped mint leaves if desired, and pack the container for a tasty, ready‑to‑eat lunch.
