- Set out the egg, flour and sesame seeds in three separate shallow dishes. Add some black pepper to the egg, if liked.
- Pour oil into a small frying pan to a depth of about 1cm. Heat over medium high heat.
- Remove feta from freezer and dredge each finger in the egg, then flour, egg again, then sesame. Evenly coat all sides.
- Add the fingers to the hot oil. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, till golden brown. Remove from oil and briefly drain excess oil on kitchen paper.
