Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the fig halves, cut side up, on the prepared tray and drizzle with the honey; set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the toasted sesame seeds with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Brush each feta slice lightly with olive oil on both sides, then press the slices into the sesame‑seed mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Both sides of the feta are evenly coated. Press gently so the sesame seeds adhere.
Arrange the sesame‑crusted feta slices on a separate part of the baking tray, leaving space between them.
Roast the figs for 5‑7 minutes, until they begin to soften and caramelize.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Figs begin to soften and caramelize.
Add the feta to the oven and roast for an additional 8‑10 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the sesame coating is crisp.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The feta is golden and the sesame coating crisp. Leave space between slices for even browning.
Remove both figs and feta from the oven; let the feta cool for 2 minutes so the crust sets.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The crust sets as the feta cools.
Assemble the lunchbox: place the crispy sesame feta on one side, the warm roasted figs on the other, and drizzle any remaining honey over the figs.
Garnish with chopped mint leaves if desired, and pack the container for a tasty, ready‑to‑eat lunch.
