Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams block of feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 pieces pita bread
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the block of feta cheese in an oven-safe dish.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the feta, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the feta.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the feta is soft and heated through.
While the feta is baking, lightly brush the pita bread with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Warm the pita bread in a skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until soft and slightly toasted (about 2 minutes per side).
Once the feta is done, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle the honey over the top.
Garnish the feta with the chopped parsley.
Serve the fiery peppered feta warm with the toasted pita bread for dipping.
