Baked Feta with Olives and Roasted Tomatoes - Last Ingredient

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat feta

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Ricotta is more affordable and provides a creamy texture.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned olives

Canned olives are often less expensive and readily available.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the top rack in the oven 4-6 inches from the broiler and another rack in the middle.

Stir the olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

In a medium bowl, combine the olives, tomatoes and garlic.

Place the feta in a small baking dish. The cheese should have some space around it for the olives and tomatoes. Then spoon the tomatoes and olives around the feta.

Pour the olive oil over everything in the baking dish.

Bake the feta for 15-18 minutes, until it just starts browning at the edges.

Turn on the broiler, and brown the top of the cheese, about 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs before serving warm with toasted baguette slices, crackers or pita chips.
