Reviews: 198
Ingredients:
Use only high-quality feta, sold immersed in brine in plastic containers. Spoon the dip onto crackers or use it as a decadent topping for baked potatoes. Makes 6 servings - 1 pound feta, drained
- 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
How to make
Baked Feta
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Crumble the cheese into a small casserole or other oven-safe crock that holds about 2 cups. Press down to compact the cheese without mashing it. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the cheese, then line the tomatoes on top.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil or cover the crock with its tight-fitting lid. Bake until soft and runny, about 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes at room temperature before serving.
- Variation: Substitute crumbly goat cheese for the feta; or place Brie, Camembert, or cambozola in the freezer for 15 minutes, then slice off the rind and slice the firmed-up cheese into small, irregular pieces.
