📖 Instructions

1. First, pick the PERFECT Watermelon: Look for a watermelon that feels heavy for its size and has a yellow spot (where it sat on the ground). This usually indicates ripeness, but honestly its often a matter of luck lol.
2. Cut the Watermelon: Slice the watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds. Then, use a cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out fun shapes. I like using star and heart shapes, cause, why not?
3. Crumble the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese generously over the watermelon slices. Don't be shy; that salty-creamy contrast is what makes this so good. Unless you hate feta, then be shy ig.
4. Add the Mint: Sprinkle fresh mint leaves over the feta. If the leaves are large, you can chop them up a bit. Mint is KEY.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: If you're feeling fancy, top one watermelon slice with another to make mini sandwiches. Or, just serve them as open-faced delights.
6. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze (Optional): A light drizzle of balsamic glaze can add a touch of tangy sweetness. But tbh, they’re pretty awesome without it too.
7. Serve Immediately: These are best enjoyed fresh. The watermelon can get a little soggy if they sit for too long. And no one likes soggy sandwiches, trust me on this one.
8. For a fun twist, try grilling the watermelon slices before adding the feta and mint. It gives them a slightly smoky flavor. But watch them carefully, they can burn quick!
9. If you're prepping ahead, keep the watermelon slices and feta separate until just before serving to prevent the sandwiches from getting soggy. Pro tip: learned this the hard way!
10. Use a good quality feta cheese. The taste makes all the difference. I once tried a super cheap brand and, well, lets just say it wasn't pretty haha.
