This is another winner. I have a huge garden and I’m always looking for a new way to use my cherry tomatoes. I make this when ever we have friends/family over or when we are invited to a party.
The only change I have made to the recipe is I makes cuts in to the block of feta so you have bite size pieces. ( But I don’t separate it I shape it back in to a block ). It separates a little when it cook its, but it makes it easier to eat. I serve it with tortilla chips. It is SOOOO Good !
I made this recipe twice
And liked it better when I used a thinner block of feta. Cheese melted better. I cut the block of feta and save the rest for another dish!
Simple, easy, quick appetizer. Looks and tastes like I spend a lot of time on this but I don’t! Delicious.
This was the 1st recipe that I tried from your blog. (I’ve since made many more… always with great results!). My daughter actually made it 1st for a family get together and I LOVED it. I have since made it MANY times. The only difference is I used a goat cheese log from Aldi. The cheese melts so nice and is a nice compliment to the fresh tomatoes! I did try making this with frozen cherry tomatoes (hoping I could extend the use of MY fresh tomatoes). It was good in a pinch, but prefer fresh tomatoes. Everyone who tries this LOVES it!
ABSOLUTELY delicious!! One of my favorite appetizers to make.
This is so delicious! One of my favorite appetizers to make and people always go crazy for it. I sometimes double the tomato mixture.
Not only was this recipe incredibly simple, but incredibly tasty! Goes to show, simple flavorful ingredients add up to fantastic tasting food. I used crumbled feta and basically ate it with a spoon! I always double this recipe so we have leftovers 😁
Loved this the first time I made it. Cooking the tomatoes this way really brings out their flavor, especially with the olive oil they are cooked in. Great way to use up the abundance of late summer cherry tomatoes!
I would rate this a 5/5. The ingredients just blend together so well. It is small but mighty in big, addictive flavors. Easy to prepare and always have the ingredients handy. A winner for any occasion!
This is my all time favorite appetizer to serve to family and guests! It’s easy to make, presents beautifully and is absolutely delicious to the taste buds!!! The flavors blend perfectly! Thanks again Jenn!
