Ingredients

Main Ingredients

8 oz feta cheese the star of the show!
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning if you’re feeling wild
1 tsp red pepper flakes adjust based on your spice tolerance
to taste Salt and pepper
to taste Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
as needed Pita bread, for serving

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the feta cheese in the center of a baking dish.

Flavoring

Surround the feta with halved cherry tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Baking

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the feta is soft and slightly golden, and the tomatoes create a juicy sauce.

Serving

Garnish with fresh herbs, tear the pita into bite-sized pieces, and serve alongside the baked feta and tomatoes.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh herbs as a garnish. If desired, substitute feta cheese with goat cheese. Leftovers can be added on top of salads or pasta.
