Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat feta cheese dry with paper towels and cut each large rectangle into 4 equal rectangles, forming 8 small rectangles total.
Cover the reserved phyllo pastry with a barely damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Place 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface, and using a pastry brush, brush the entire sheet including edges with melted Country Crock. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Fold in half, left to right, and brush with more Country Crock.
Place two pieces of feta on the bottom of the phyllo and cut down the middle lengthways between the two pieces of feta. Fold edges over the feta and wrap the phyllo around the cheese. Make sure not to wrap too tight as the feta will expand while cooking. Brush with more Country Crock as you go to help make things stick.
Place feta rectangles, seam side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the outside of the pastry with melted Country Crock and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the Crispy Feta Bites at 375°F until phyllo is deep golden brown and crispy, about 25-27 minutes.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Serve your Crispy Feta Bites with fresh greens and enjoy!

If you're someone who likes a touch of spice with your sweetness, top the crispy feta bites with honey and a hint of red chili flakes.
