Air Fried Feta With Honey
I love cheese. I’m so glad that cheese is a low-carb food and is a Keto safe food because I absolutely love it. My stomach doesn’t like milk, but butter, cream, cheese, and cream cheese are where it’s at for me. This Air Fried Feta is absolutely delicious and comes together with very little time or preparation. It’s actually a perfect last-minute company dish because really Feta keeps forever, and as long as you have a chunk of that in your fridge, a few minutes and you could be snacking on something that tastes like it took a while to put together. This is best served with pita chips, nut and seed bread, low carb crackers, or even rounds of fresh pita bread. It makes an excellent appetizer, snack, or a little late-night treat for when you’re feeling hungry.
