- Place tomatoes in a shallow baking dish. Pour the garlic-infused olive oil over the tomatoes and toss gently to coat.

- While tomatoes bake, cut 4 ounces of feta cheese into 1/2-inch chunks.
- Roughly chop 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves.

- Carefully pour the roasted tomato mixture over the feta and basil.
- Gently stir to combine.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
