Baked Feta with Olives and Sun-dried Tomatoes

This Baked Feta with Olives and Sun-dried Tomatoes is a simple delicious appetizer that’s perfect for date night in. Tangy creamy feta topped with olive oil, garlic and spices surrounded by a combination of olives, as well as sun-dried tomatoes make for a party for your taste buds!

Step-By-Step Instructions

The first step is to add your block of feta to a small baking dish. You’ll then add your olives and sun-dried tomatoes to the dish around the outside of the block of feta.

The second step is to whisk together your olive oil, minced garlic, fresh chopped rosemary, dried oregano, lemon zest and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. You’ll pour the mixture over your feta.

The last step is to bake in a 350 degree oven for roughly 20-25 minutes or until the feta is softened and warmed through.

As soon as I remove the feta from the oven I use my serving knife to break up the feta a bit so it’s easy to spread on your crackers or bread.

This is a simple appetizer that’s so easy to throw together for unexpected guests. It’s also perfect for date night in. I hope you folks give it a go.
