mediterranean baked feta

Warm, creamy, and luscious baked feta recipe with bell peppers, tomatoes, herbs, and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. One of the simplest and most satisfying mezze you&#039;ll make! All you need is some crusty bread or homemade pita chips to serve.

Baked Feta Recipe

½ red onion (sliced)

green bell pepper

cherry tomatoes (about 3 ounces, halved)

oregano

½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

thyme

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

feta cheese (do not crumble)

mint leaves

Crusty bread or pita chips

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and adjust a rack in the middle.

Arrange the onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes at the bottom of a ramekin or oven-safe dish. Sprinkle with 1 tsp oregano, pinch red pepper flakes, and add some of the fresh thyme. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil.

Add the feta on top of the arranged veggies. Season the feta block with the remaining dried oregano, pinch of red pepper flakes and whatever remains of the fresh thyme. Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil on the feta and make sure to brush the sides with some of the oil.

Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes (and if you like, you can stick it under the broiler very briefly to add color).

Serve with pita chips or toasted Italian bread.

Creamy baked feta with tomatoes, peppers, and fresh herbs!

Mediterranean Baked Feta

This easy Mediterranean baked feta with an herb-infused olive and sun-dried tomato topping is officially my signature appetizer for dinner parties. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!

block feta cheese

olives

tomatoes

extra virgin olive oil

garlic

basil

red pepper flakes

kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)

fresh parsley (for garnish)

Place the feta. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the feta cheese in a small baking dish.

Stir the topping. In a medium mixing bowl, add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Top the feta. Pour the topping all over the feta making sure it&#39;s fully coated in the oil, then push the majority of olives and sun-dried tomatoes to the side.

Bake the feta. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the feta is softened. Optionally, turn on the top broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the top of the feta. Just watch that you don&#39;t burn the olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with crostini or sliced cucumber.

This Mediterranean-baked feta is officially my signature appetizer for dinner parties and entertaining. Besides being super easy to make, each scoop is the perfect bite of warm and soft feta cheese with an herb-infused green olive and sun-dried tomato topping.

If you follow trends on social media, you know that baked cheese is all the rage - and I’m here for it! My baked brie is popular during the holidays, but this baked feta is great year-round. And while baked feta pasta might be popular on social media, this Mediterranean-baked feta is my personal favorite go-to recipe. It’s robust in flavor and requires very little effort – and who doesn’t love that? This simple dish represents my favorite style of cooking and it’s something you’ll find across all of my Mediterranean recipes.
