Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g feta cheese block or crumbled
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes whole, halved if large
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano optional, for flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Oven-proof baking dish
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the feta block or crumbled feta in the center of an oven-proof baking dish. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the feta, creating a colorful base. Drizzle everything evenly with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, then season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the feta is soft, bubbling, and golden on top. During baking, the tomatoes will blister and release their juices, mixing with the feta’s creamy texture. The aroma of baked feta and roasting tomatoes will fill your kitchen.
  3. Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a minute—this helps the feta set slightly and makes it easier to serve. Gently mash the feta with a spoon to incorporate some of the roasted tomato juices, creating a velvety sauce.
  4. Garnish with fresh herbs or an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm directly from the dish, spooning the warm, creamy feta and roasted tomatoes onto toasted bread or crusty crackers for a rustic presentation. Enjoy the rich, tangy, and smoky flavors in every bite.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red chili flakes or fresh basil before serving.
