Baked Feta

When I saw Baked Feta over at Kalofagas.ca, I knew that it would definitely be on my table in the very near future!

**Mum... you'll REALLY like this and it's REALLY easy!

Peter Minakis has tons of awesome recipes on his site. I can't wait to try these two mussels recipes!

I made the Baked Feta last weekend and everyone really RAVED about it!

Being the kind of scatterbrained procrastinator that I am, I half glanced at the recipe before running out to the store. As a result, I came home with a bell pepper instead of a cubanelle or banana pepper and I was am out of chili flakes.



Baked Feta (adapted due to negligence by Spryte!)
(and it is a very versatile recipe and easy to adapt to your tastes)
8 oz block of Feta
1 ripe tomato, very thinly sliced
bell pepper, diced or cut to very thin strips (I think I would have preferred banana or cubanelle)
olive oil
Penzey's Greek Seasoning (coarse salt, garlic, lemon, black pepper, Turkish oregano, marjoram)
Chili flakes

Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a ramekin or small baking dish.
Place feta block on top of oil.
Cover feta with diced onions & peppers.
Drizzle again with olive oil.
Sprinkle on Greek Seasoning & chili flakes.
Cover baking dish with foil.
Bake 20 - 30 minutes at 375F
Serve with bread slices.

Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a ramekin.


Place feta on top of olive oil.




Cover the feta with tomatoes & peppers


Drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with herbs & chili flakes.


Cover with foil and bake at 375F for 20 - 30 minutes.


Now you're ready to try it! I served it on baguette slices.


Mmmmm.... delicious, creamy and savory....


Peter also makes this on the grill in a foil packet over indirect heat. That would add another smokey delicious level of flavor. I can't wait to try it that way too!

I don't have to write 'enjoy' after this post, you won't be able help enjoying it!

Peter - this is for you!
