This baked feta is one of my favorite things to make when friends stop by for a visit. It is inspired by the simple, delicious appetizers I enjoyed during a trip to Greece, where the cheese becomes soft and melty in the oven while the tomatoes turn sweet and jammy.

I love this dish because it is so easy to prepare. You just need a few basic pantry staples and a good block of feta cheese. It works perfectly as a quick snack or as part of a larger grazing platter when you are hosting a crowd.

Ingredients

4 to 5 ounce block of feta cheese
10 cherry tomatoes
1 garlic clove
10 Kalamata olives
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Kosher salt to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a small bowl with a few pinches of kosher salt.
3
Mince the garlic clove finely.
4
Place the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and Kalamata olives into a small oven safe baking dish.
5
Set the block of feta cheese in the center of the dish.
6
Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and tomatoes, then sprinkle the dried oregano over everything.
7
Bake for about 18 minutes, or until the feta is soft and the tomatoes have burst.
8
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Serve this dish warm straight from the oven with crusty bread, pita chips, or fresh cucumber slices. If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a 350 degree oven.
