Instructions
1. Prepare the Hot Honey Feta
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the feta block in a small oven-safe dish.
Drizzle honey and olive oil over the feta. Sprinkle chili flakes on top.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the feta is soft and slightly golden.
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh thyme or oregano.
2. Make Flatbread Chips
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) if not baking feta at the same time.
Cut flatbreads or pitas into triangles.
Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until crisp and golden.
3. Assemble the Board
Place the hot honey feta in the center of a large serving board or platter.
Arrange olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red bell peppers, and roasted peppers around the feta.
Add flatbread chips in a fan-like pattern.
Include optional dips in small bowls for variety.
Garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of extra honey over the feta if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make this vegan?
A: Yes! Substitute feta with a vegan feta block or marinated tofu, and swap honey for agave or maple syrup.

A: The chili flakes give a gentle kick. Adjust the amount to your preference or leave out for a mild, sweet feta.
Q: Can I prepare it ahead of time?
A: You can prep the board ingredients a few hours in advance, but bake the feta and flatbread chips just before serving to maintain texture and warmth.
Q: What drinks pair well?
A: Crisp white wines like Sauvignon Blanc, a light rosé, or sparkling water with lemon complement the flavors beautifully.
