Add the pine nuts to a plastic baggie and use a rolling pin or wooden spoon to coarsely crush the pine nuts. It’s ok if some pine nuts are whole and some are crushed. They don’t need to be uniform. Add the pine nuts to a separate shallow bowl and set aside.
Blot the feta cheese with paper towels or a clean, thin dish towel to remove any excess liquid from the surface.
In a shallow bowl, beat an egg until well-combined and set aside.
Coat the feta
Dip the block of feta into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.
Then, dip the feta block in the crushed pine nuts, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the cheese.
Fry the feta
Place a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil to the pan.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated feta in the pan. Add the rosemary sprig, grapes, and any extra pine nut pieces.
Turn the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook the feta for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coating turns golden brown and crispy, while the cheese remains soft and creamy on the inside.
Use a spatula to gently flip the feta to fry the other side.
Finishing touches
Once the feta is evenly fried and has a crispy pine nut crust, transfer it to a serving plate.
Garnish with fried rosemary sprig, blistered grapes, and the pine nuts that have toasted in the pan.
Just before serving, generously drizzle the pan-fried feta with honey to add a touch of sweetness and enjoy.
