Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 10 ounce block of sheep's milk feta Note: the amount of cheese can vary, that's fine. If your block is very thick you may want to slice it in half through the middle so you have 2 thinner slabs.
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 large lemon
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed olives
  • 3 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • a few coarse grindings of black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Put the feta in a gratin dish or other small ovenproof dish that you will also use for serving.
  • Pour the olive oil into the dish, followed by the lemon juice. Arrange the olives around the cheese, with the rosemary. I quarter the squeezed lemon half and throw that in as well. Sprinkle the red and black pepper over all.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbling. I loosely laid a sheet of foil over mine. You can finish under the broiler if you like for a little charring effect.
  • Serve hot with toasted bread.
