Instructions
 

  • Add flour, whisked eggs, and panko bread crumbs to their own individual bowls - making sure they’re wide enough to comfortably fit two halves of feta.
  • Add both halves of feta to the flour, coating on all sides, then add them to the egg wash, coating all sides, and then to the panko - coating all sides and packing it on so it sticks.
  • Add your coated feta to an air fryer basket or tray and spray with nonstick spray.
  • Airfry at 400 for 7 minutes (if using a drawer-based air fryer) or 14 minutes (if using a oven-style air fryer like in this video) NOTE: air fryers are so drastically different that I recommend checking it every 4 minutes or so until it’s crispy and golden on the outside..
  • Meanwhile, add arugula and tomatoes to a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, olive oil, flaky salt and pepper.
  • Once the feta is ready, add it to a plate along with the salad and drizzle the whole thing with balsamic glaze.
  • Serve immediately.
