My daughter first made this and we LOVED it. I have since made this MANY times. Instead of feta cheese (which I had a problem with it not melting), I use goat cheese. Everyone that tries this recipe LOVES it. Thanks for a great recipe!
Excellent recipe. So easy and delicious. Every time I have served it people have loved it.
This recipe is the BOMB! OMG! It is So good. Love it. I added some sun dried tomatoes that I wanted to get rid of. Really good. Thanks
This is a very tasty and easy to make appetizer. I will definitely make it again.
My feta did not melt well. Best to slice it to help the process.
What a lovely meal! We chopped the feta into slices and ate it with fresh bread and basil as our main meal. We drank champagne with it.
This recipe sounds amazing, but feta doesn’t really agree with me. Can we use another type of cheese?
Hi Mariana, I’m not certain how readily available haloumi is, but that would work here. Some other options are blue cheese or Brie, although I’ve never tried them here. Just make sure to keep an eye on it while it’s in the oven!
Soooo yum!
Loved it!!
Modified this
Sliced feta into 5 slices and overlapped in the baking dish
Mixed tomatoes with kalamata olives, halved, the capers, garlic cloves sliced thin and a little slivered red onion, a few twists of black pepper and piled around and on top of feta.
Drizzled with about half a tablespoon of olive oil
Baked at 375 about 25/30 minutes
Garnished with slivered basil and a little lemon zest
Served on crostini I made
WOW…So easy and so good. Thanks Jenn for the inspiration
We just made this again for the millionth time. It is so delicious. This time I’m on a diet so I didn’t want to eat a lot of white bread. I had some cooked barley in the fridge so I heated it up and put the cheese and tomatoes on top. It’s a meal by itself. DELICIOUS!
