Broiled Feta and Tomatoes: The best summer appetizer recipe!

olive oil

garlic cloves, finely chopped

red pepper flakes

(about 6 cups) of ripe cherry tomatoes

Kosher salt

feta cheese (see notes)

Fresh slivered basil, for serving (10-12 leaves)

baguette

Preheat the broiler/grill on high and set the oven rack in the top position. 

Simmer the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over low heat for 2 minutes or so, to soften and mellow the garlic. Add the tomatoes and a pinch or two of salt, and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices. 

Pour tomatoes and juices into the casserole, use a spoon to clear an area in the middle of the pan, and add the blocks of feta. Alternatively, if using a cast iron skillet or another oven-ready skillet, you can skip the casserole dish and simply add the blocks of feta to the skillet. 

Place the pan in the oven, under the broiler, for 3-4 minutes, until the feta is soft and golden brown in spots, and some of the tomatoes have blistered. 

Serve this dish hot, straight from the pot. Sprinkle on the fresh basil, set the pot out on the table on a trivet, alongside a basket of fresh sliced baguette or crostini (see notes), with a serving spoon, small appetizer plates or shallow bowls, and teaspoons.

I'm back making this for the 4th time and noticed I forgot to leave a star rating with my comment - definitely 5 stars.

Delicious and easy to throw together! I cooked this all last summer and am just remembering it again while summer lasts!
