Directions:

Start by letting your tortillas sit out until they reach room temperature. This step is important because it makes them easier to fold. Once your tortillas are ready, place a slice of feta cheese in the center of each one. Be mindful of the thickness—too thick, and the pockets might be overly salty; too thin, and the feta could break when you fold the tortilla.

Next, add a few pieces of sundried tomatoes on top of the feta. Drizzle a teaspoon of the oil from the sundried tomatoes over the filling. Sprinkle some chopped basil leaves for a fresh, herby flavor.

Now, carefully fold the tortilla, one side at a time, into a square-ish pocket, making sure the edges overlap slightly to keep the filling secure. Once folded, place the pocket seam-side down. Brush the top and sides generously with the beaten egg, ensuring even coverage. This helps the sesame seeds stick and gives the pockets a nice golden color when they cook. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top; they’ll toast beautifully in the air fryer, adding a pleasant crunch.

Set your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius. Place the pockets in the air fryer basket, giving them a little space so they cook evenly. Let them cook for about 10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside.

When they’re done, take them out and drizzle some honey on top. The sweetness of the honey balances the saltiness of the feta perfectly. Finally, finish with a sprinkle of chili flakes for a bit of heat, and your feta pockets are ready to enjoy.

And that’s it! In just 15 minutes, you’ve got yourself a batch of feta pockets that are as delicious as they are easy to make. Perfect for when you want something quick, tasty, and just a little bit fancy. Whether you’re eating them on the go or serving them up for friends, these pockets are a total win.
