block feta

olives

sun-dried tomatoes

olive oil

garlic,

oregano

thyme

Add olives and sun-dried tomatoes to the baking dish around the feta.

In a small dish combine olive oil, sliced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. 

Pour over the block of feta, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. 

Bake for 20 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes.

When I read that block feta was not easy to find anywhere because of the baked feta craze, I had to find a recipe. This was the bomb—I found my Basque friend in the kitchen scooping up the last of the crumbs and oil with crackers! He is 72, very discriminating and I was so pleased he liked it. Thank you!

Excellent! I love making this and it’s become my current favorite way of eating feta. I put it in the air fryer for the same amount of time (at 175C in Europe), added fresh tomatoes and it turned out a treat!

Quick question 
Do you drain the jar of olives? Drain the sundries tomatoes if in oil?

This was amazing, I have made it several times and now it is requested for any occasion with my friends and family. Thank you.

So delicious and easy to make. Everyone loved it!

Perfect!  I made it with Sourdough Flatbreads.  Excellent!  This is my go-to recipe.

I loved how simple and easy this recipe was! Great for a quick week night meal.

Do you think this would be good with sautéed mushrooms cooked in?

Do the noodles get cooked separately, then mixed into final product? That part was left out

This is SO EASY and if one adds toasted pine nuts, it’s really amazing!

Wow, I have to say this is about the best thing I’ve ever tasted! Got to try it last night (thanks, Debi!) and it was hard to stop! The olives you added were a nice touch, but I believe the fresh basil was perfect!

This recipe is delicious! I love heirloom tomatoes.

Easy and delicious!  My favorite combination!  I can’t wait to give this a try!!

Oh my goodness. Made this tonight and it was fabulous!! Such a simple and delicious. Perfect to use all of our heirloom tomatoes in the garden this coming season!
