Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces block of feta cheese (preferably Greek)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 1 loaf crusty bread or pita
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a small oven-safe dish.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the feta to coat it lightly.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the block of feta in the dish.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the feta and tomatoes.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic, ensuring an even coating.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and cracked black pepper over the feta and tomatoes.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and the feta is just starting to turn golden at the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven. Drizzle the honey over the warm feta and tomatoes.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita for dipping, and enjoy!
