Baked Feta With Chilli Oregano Recipes

BAKED FETA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and adjust a rack in the middle.
• Arrange the onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes at the bottom of a ramekin or oven-safe dish. Sprinkle with 1 tsp oregano, pinch red pepper flakes, and add some of the fresh thyme. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil.
• Add the feta on top of the arranged veggies. Season the feta block with the remaining dried oregano, pinch of red pepper flakes and whatever remains of the fresh thyme. Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil on the feta and make sure to brush the sides with some of the oil.
• Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes (and if you like, you can stick it under the broiler very briefly to add color).
• Serve with pita chips or toasted Italian bread.

SPICY BAKED FETA (FETA PSITI)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220C / 430F
• Place some tin foil paper on a baking dish. The tin foil paper should be cut double the size than the dish, as you will need to cover the dish as well. Slice the tomatoes, green pepper and red onion.
• Cover the bottom of the dish with the sliced tomatoes, sliced green peppers, sliced red onions, black olives, some black pepper and olive oil.
• Place the feta block on the top of the veggies and add on the top of the feta the oregano, chilli flakes, black pepper and drizzle some more olive oil.
• Cover with the tin foil paper on the sides and bake for about 10 minutes at 220C / 430F. Uncover the feta cheese, opening the tin foil paper, and cook for further 10 minutes.

BAKED FETA WITH CHILLI

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200°C
• Place the feta in an oven proof baking dish and drizzle with olive oil
• Sprinkle spices over the feta, and cover with aluminium foil
• Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes
• Serve with crackers, bread or olives

BAKED FETA WITH CHILLI & OREGANO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Sit the feta on a sheet of foil. Scatter over the chilli and oregano, then drizzle with olive oil. Scrunch up the foil to seal the feta in a parcel, then place on a baking tray and bake for 10 mins until warmed and softened.

BAKED FETA WITH SESAME & HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the sesame seeds in a shallow dish and brush the block of feta all over with the honey. Carefully press the honey-coated feta into the sesame seeds, turning so that it's well crusted with seeds.
• Put the feta in a baking dish (it should fit snugly), then sprinkle over the oregano and a pinch of sea salt. Drizzle with some olive oil. Bake for 15-20 mins until the feta is soft, then drizzle with a little extra honey and serve with the pitta breads on the side.

BAKED FETA WITH BURST TOMATOES & CHILLI HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the feta in the centre of a baking dish, about 25cm x 20cm, and scatter the cherry tomatoes and red onion around the cheese.
• In a jug, whisk the olive oil with the garlic, chopped herbs, honey and some seasoning, then drizzle over the tomatoes and feta. Bake for 35-40 mins until the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and lightly golden. Drizzle with a little extra chilli fusion honey and olive oil to serve, alongside some crusty bread and a green salad.

GREEK BOUYIOURDI

Steps:

• Cut 1 tomato through the middle, then cut two slices from the centre and set aside. Scoop the seeds from the rest of the tomato, then grate the flesh, discarding the skin. Deseed and grate the rest of the tomatoes in the same way, then mix the grated flesh with the garlic. Season and spoon into a 16cm baking dish.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the feta block in the garlicky tomatoes, then top with the sliced tomatoes, the chilli, oregano, olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Cover the dish and bake for 15 mins, then uncover and bake for a further 15 mins. Serve warm with the pitta breads on the side for dunking.
