How to Make Feta Cheese Appetizers
- Preheat your broiler.
- In a medium skillet, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is tender.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Add 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, and 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese to the skillet.
- Stir until the mixture is nearly smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup chopped sweet red bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon dried dillweed.
- Set the feta mixture aside.
- Using a long serrated knife, carefully split 6 pita rounds in half horizontally to create 12 pita halves.
- Arrange the pita halves, cut-side up, on a large ungreased baking sheet.
- Broil the pita halves 3 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until lightly toasted.
- Spread approximately 1/3 cup of the feta cheese mixture onto each pita half.
- Broil for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pita is heated through.
- To serve, use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut each pita half into 6 wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
