INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried basil
8 ounces block feta cheese
1 cup pitted olives, drained and halved
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
pinch red pepper flakes
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
roughly chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place feta in a small baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, mix olives, sun-dried tomatoes, oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour the mixture over the feta, ensuring it’s fully coated, then push most of the olives and sun-dried tomatoes to the side.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until feta is softened. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the top.
5. Garnish with parsley and serve with crostini or cucumber slices.
