FETA BOUYIOURDI RECIPE (SPICY GREEK BAKED FETA WITH TOMATOES)

Steps:

• To prepare this delicious Greek baked feta recipe, start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the onion and pepper into rings or half rings and chop the tomato into small cubes. (Use the ripest tomato you can find.)
• Place the block of feta on some aluminum foil and top with the tomato, onion and pepper. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Wrap the feta cheese with the aluminum foil and place on a baking tray. (Make sure that the aluminium foil isn't torn, to keep the juices inside).
• Bake in preheated oven at 180C until the vegetables have softened, for about 20 minutes.
• Serve the baked feta as it is (with the aluminium foil), with some crusted bread aside. Enjoy!

SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
• Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
• Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

BAKED FETA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and adjust a rack in the middle.

• Add the feta on top of the arranged veggies. Season the feta block with the remaining dried oregano, pinch of red pepper flakes and whatever remains of the fresh thyme. Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil on the feta and make sure to brush the sides with some of the oil.
• Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes (and if you like, you can stick it under the broiler very briefly to add color).
• Serve with pita chips or toasted Italian bread.

GREAT APPETIZER: OVEN BAKED FETA WITH TOMATOES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
• Slice the pearl tomatoes horizontally (each one in four pieces) and place on paper towels to drain. (If you are using one large tomato, cut the end pieces and slice the rest in six slices). After 3-4 minutes, turn them over and place on new paper towels. Cut the pepper into four rings and set aside.
• Oil well a small, shallow ceramic baking dish (or four individual ceramic ramekins) and place half of the tomato slices at the bottom. Sprinkle with some sea salt and crushed pepper flakes. Top with half the bell pepper slices.
• Arrange the two Feta pieces on top of the tomato/pepper layer, place the remaining tomato slices on top of each piece of cheese, and place the rest of the bell pepper rings on the tomato. Drizzle liberally with the extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and some more pepper flakes, and transfer to the middle of the oven.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the feta turns a light-golden color and the oil is sizzling. If you want to deepen the color, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
• Brush some olive oil on the slices of good, multigrain bread, and grill on both sides. Serve the baked feta immediately with some warm grilled bread.

BAKED STUFFED RED PEPPERS WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, FETA, AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in top third. Place bell pepper halves, cut sides up, in a baking dish. Toss together tomatoes, feta, thyme, and basil in a medium bowl; season with black pepper. Fill each pepper with tomato and feta mixture, dividing evenly. Drizzle each with oil.
• Bake stuffed peppers, covered with aluminum foil, until they begin to soften, about 30 minutes. Remove foil; continue to bake until tomatoes begin to burst and cheese turns light brown, 13 to 15 minutes more. Remove stuffed peppers from oven, and serve warm.

BAKED FETA CHEESE WITH ONIONS, RED PEPPER & TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7
• You will need two individual serving dishes that can go into the oven.
• De-seed and cut the bell pepper length ways into 3 cm strips.
• Brush the pepper slices in a little oil and place on a preheated non stick baking tray and roast for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Char the skin of the pepper slightly with a cooks blow torch if you think the skin isn't looking nice and roasted. Put the peppers to one side.
• Now, in a saucepan, melt the butter and the olive oil.
• Slice the onion thinly and finely chop the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the saucepan. Over a low heat, cook until soft but not coloured.
• Cut the feta cheese into 2cm cubes.
• Using individual serving dishes, layer the onions, with the thinly sliced tomatoes and the roasted red pepper slices.
• Top with the cubed feta cheese. Finish by sprinkling with the grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each dish.
• Cover with aluminium foil (trying not to touch the cheese) and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the feta starts to get a nice colour.
• Take care not to cook too much as it looks better if the feta stays in cubes.
• Serve with nice fresh crusty bread.

BAKED FETA PASTA {RED PEPPER OR TOMATO}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In 2-quart or larger baking dish*, place feta block in the center, then arrange peppers or tomatoes (or combo) around the feta.
• Sprinkle garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning over the peppers/tomatoes. Drizzle all with olive oil.
• Bake for about 40-45 minutes at 400 degrees or until the vegetables are roasted (starting to char a little in places) and the feta is soft and browning on top.
• During the bake time, bring pot of salted water to boil (I use 4-6 qt water and 2 generous teaspoons salt.) Cook the pasta when the bake time has about 8-10 minutes left.
• Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain pasta.
• Stir together baked feta and peppers/tomatoes. I like to smush the tomatoes to release their juices. Add pasta and 1/4 cup pasta water and stir together. The starchy pasta water will help bind it all together. Add more pasta water as needed - a little at a time. It will thicknen up as you stir and as it sits. (FYI - the peppers aren't as juicy as the tomatoes - so you may need a little more of the pasta water.)
• Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve!
