Ever just wanted a whole slab of cheese for dinner? Now’s your time. Coated in za’atar and sesame seeds, blocks of feta get seared with a little heat and cornstarch, becoming crunchy on top and soft within. The feta is ideal for breaking off in chunks and enjoying with the garlicky, charred broccolini. A nonstick skillet is essential for an effortless crust.
