Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Spread a thick, even layer of the tomato red pepper sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish.

Place one or two blocks of feta cheese on top of the sauce.

Scatter olives around and on top of the feta.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the cheese is soft and lightly golden on the edges.

Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using, and sprinkle with chopped basil.
