How to Make Baked Herb Feta Cheese

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Place a block of feta cheese (200g) in the center of a large square of aluminum foil (approximately 30cm x 30cm or 12 inches square).
  3. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped herbs (such as oregano, thyme, rosemary - mix and match!), and gently press them around the sides of the feta.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the feta and season generously with freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Carefully fold the foil over the feta, creating a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent leaks.
  6. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the feta is soft and heated through.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Carefully open the foil packet, allowing any excess liquid to drain. Serve warm or cold, crumbled over salads, alongside crusty bread, or as part of a cheese board.
