Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 200 gram Feta Cheese
Vegetables and Herbs
- 10 Cherry Tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Red Onion, sliced
- Fresh Oregano, to taste
Others
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 6 Olives
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the feta and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare Ingredients: Place the 200 grams of feta cheese in the center of a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cheese. Add 6 olives, 10 cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of sliced red onion around the feta. Season with ground black pepper and fresh oregano to taste.
- Bake: Wrap the ingredients loosely in the foil or place the foil on a baking tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Bake until the feta softens and the cherry tomatoes have burst, releasing their juices.

- For extra flavor, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes before baking if you like a bit of heat.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor of the baked cheese and vegetables.
