Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese block
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 loaf crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the feta cheese block into thick rectangular slices (about 1 cm thick) and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the red and yellow bell peppers into bite-sized chunks.
Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
In a baking dish, arrange the feta slices, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and garlic. Scatter the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs on top.
Drizzle the marinade evenly over the dish, ensuring the feta and vegetables are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the feta is soft and slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven, and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with slices of crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful oil and melted feta.
