Kataifi Cheese Balls
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 12
Ingredients
50g clarified butter, melted
200g of kataifi pastry
150g kefalograviera cheese, finely grated
12 bocconcini balls
2 tsp dried oregano
¼ cup of honey
½ a lemon, juiced
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 12 hole mini muffin tin.
Tease the kataifi apart with your hands and lay out 12 x 15cm strips on a clean board. Drizzle generously with the butter and then starting at the end closest to you, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of kefalograviera cheese and then nestle a bocconcini ball on top. Wrap the kataifi tightly around the cheese to form a ball. Place in the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Place the honey in a pot with the lemon juice and oregano and just bring to the boil.
Place cheese balls onto a platter and drizzle over warmed honey. Serve warm.
