Marissa's MediterraneanWarm, creamy feta cubes marinated in a zesty herb-infused olive oil and roasted until soft and fragrant. The perfect Mediterranean bite for any gathering!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab a small oven-safe baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sliced garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the cubed feta in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour the herb-infused oil mixture over the cheese, making sure every piece is well-coated.
Place the dish in the oven and bake until the cheese is softened and the oil is bubbling and fragrant.
Don't let the cheese melt completely; you want it to hold its shape but be creamy to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a minute before serving warm with your favorite bread or crackers.
These are the ultimate crowd-pleaser because they look fancy but take zero effort. For the best flavor, use a high-quality Greek feta—the kind that comes in brine—rather than the pre-crumbled stuff. If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the marinade is a game-changer! Serve these with some warm pita wedges or crusty sourdough to soak up every drop of that liquid gold oil.
