Baked Feta with Herbs

BAKED FETA WITH HERBS

This recipe is more of a template. I make it as an appetizer or a as a part of a 'picnic'. We can vary the size of the dish, depending upon our use. Just adjust the size of the feta block + the number of tomatoes + olives etc. Use whatever herbs you have on hand/available. Today, I used dried Greek oregano + fresh parsley, thyme + basil from my garden.

Ingredients

  • 1 block feta
 cheese
  • ½-1 C cup pitted olives
  • 2-3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1-2 C cherry tomatoes
  • ⅛- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano dried
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme dried (or 3-4 sprigs, separated.Chop some + leave sprigs for putting on the feta)
  • ½ teaspoon dried herbs-- your choice: rosemary marjoram, basil etc.
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional
  • ½ C sundried tomatoes
  • ½ C artichoke hearts chopped
  • additional chopped herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Place a block of feta in the middle of a baking dish
  3. Add the tomatoes, olives + garlic to surround the feta
  4. Put the olive oil in a cup + add the herbs + any additional add-ons.
  5. Pour this mixture over the feta + tomato mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes (time will depend on size of your concoction!)
  7. or until cheese 'melty' and tomatoes are a little 'blistered'
