Ingredients
For the Wraps
4 large flour tortillas or flatbreads
8 oz feta cheese, cut into sticks
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon lemon juice
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare and Bake the Feta
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dip each feta stick into the beaten egg, coating fully.
Roll the feta in the panko breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
Arrange the coated feta sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden, crisp, and lightly blistered on the outside.
Prepare the Wraps and Drizzle
While the feta is baking, warm the tortillas slightly so they are flexible.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Wraps
Place a small handful of mixed greens on each tortilla, if using.
Add several crispy baked feta sticks on top.
Drizzle generously with the spicy honey mixture.
Roll the tortillas tightly into wraps and serve immediately while the feta is hot and crisp.
Tips for Best Results
Use block feta, not crumbled, to achieve clean sticks and creamy centers.
Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper crisping.
Serve immediately for the best contrast between crunchy coating and soft cheese.
Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
Variations and Additions
Add sliced cucumbers or tomatoes for freshness and crunch.
Swap honey for hot honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a heartier wrap.
Add a spoon of yogurt sauce or tzatziki for extra creaminess.
Storage and Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh.
Store leftover baked feta separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat feta in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until warm and crisp again.
Assemble wraps just before serving for best texture.
