Ouzo Marinated Greek Cheese Recipe

How to Make Ouzo Marinated Greek Cheese

1. Preheat your broiler to high heat.
2. Cut the feta cheese lengthwise into four 1/2-inch thick pieces.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ouzo, olive oil, parsley, thyme, and black pepper.
4. Arrange the feta pieces in a single layer in a shallow dish.
5. Pour the ouzo mixture over the cheese, ensuring all pieces are coated.
6. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours, turning the cheese once halfway through.
7. Remove the cheese from the marinade and gently pat it dry with paper towels.
8. Place each piece of feta into a small broiler-proof gratin dish.
9. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of the reserved marinade over each piece of cheese.
10. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and just beginning to melt and brown slightly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
11. Serve immediately with warm pita bread. Consider grilling the pita bread for an extra delicious touch!
