Baked Feta with Tomatoes

Jump to Recipe

This baked feta with tomatoes recipe is one of my own.   I've seen loads of baked feta recipes in magazines, recipe books and online but had never tried it before and decided now is the time!!

I love the flavours of a greek salad, so used most of the ingredients, but left out the cucumber and olives and added garlic.

The end result is absolutely delicious.   Roasted vine tomatoes are delicious on their own, but combined with warm salty feta, oregano, soft onions and the oil that absorbs all the flavours, takes them to a whole new level.  

Enjoy served with a salad and crusty bread as a starter, or stirred through pasta for a main course.

Notes

• Cooking suggestion: if only cooking for 2...make the whole recipe and enjoy half as a starter with salad and crusty bread one day and then enjoy the other half mixed through hot pasta for dinner another night.   The leftover feta and tomatoes can easily be reheated gently in the microwave, or on the hob.
