Baked Feta


I didn't think to snap a pic until after we had torn into it




Mmm...baked feta...we must have eaten this every day during our trip to Greece.  I just don't understand why we don't see this dish here.  So easy and so good!   Great as an appetizer or paired with a lentil or green salad as a meal.  Serve with crusty bread to smear on.

Ingredients:

Slice of Greek feta - 5 to 8 oz.
A few Tbsp extra vir
gin olive oil
dash dried oregano
dash crushed red pepper
1 tomato, sliced
A few pickled banana pepper rings, mild or hot
Crusty bread such as sourdough baguette

Method:

Heat oven to 400 degrees 
In a small ovenproof dish, place tomato slices in single layer, then the feta.  Top with the oregano, crushed red pepper, and banana peppers.  Drizzle olive oil until there's a thin layer on the bottom of the dish.  Bake 10-15 minutes, or until feta is softened.

Meanwhile, slice the bread and drizzle with olive oil.  Toast in oven during last 3 minutes of cooking.
