Baked Feta Cheese and Tomatoes
Indulge in the Mediterranean charm of Baked Feta Cheese and Tomatoes. This dish brings together roasted tomatoes and creamy feta, resulting in a delightful explosion of flavors.
Ingrédients
- 1 7 ounce block Greek feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
- drizzle of olive oil
- 2 cups halved cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/3 cup halved Kalamata olives
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- chopped fresh basil for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a baking dish, position the feta cheese at the center and generously coat it with sweet honey. Finish by delicately drizzling olive oil over the top.
- In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, olives, red onion, olive oil, and garlic. Sprinkle with oregano and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Place the feta cheese in the center of a plate and arrange the tomato mixture around it.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tomato mixture is bubbling. For a golden brown top, you can also briefly place it under the broiler.
- Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
I’d recommend you choose a good-quality feta cheese made from sheep’s milk. It's meltingly soft and is simply the best! This combo is also delicious served over pasta, which is great if you have leftovers.
