For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the flour mixture. Use a good quality Greek feta for the best results. The firmer the feta, the better it will hold its shape during frying. Be careful not to overcook the feta, as it can become rubbery. It should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and still slightly soft on the inside. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best experience.
