Another 5 star recipe from OUAC-thank you! Made it as a light supper with a salad & good baguette one night- my mom raved! Making again tonight but doubling the tomatoes & serving over very thin grilled chicken cutlets and couscous-Yum!
I had purchased the ingredients for this dish earlier in the week and never gotten a chance to make it. Boy was I pleasantly surprised tonight while searching for something in the refrigerator to realize I had the makings for this tasty dish. My husband and I took your advice and ate it alone as our only dish. It was delicious. Another great recipe.
This was so simple, the perfect summer dinner! The warm feta, smeared on freshly toasted ciabatta bread, with the slightly sweet and bursting with flavor tomatoes on top……
Thank you for this great recipe!
I made this tonight for dinner with my daughter and son-in-law, and all of us were over the moon about it. Simple, delicious, and irresistible!
This recipe is amazing!! I hate when people offer reviews and then say all the things they changed (!), but now I have to do that….and it was accidental, I promise! I don’t care for Feta but that’s beside the point. I didn’t have any! So I used goat cheese and I have to say, I cannot imagine it being any more delicious than it was. Some of my guests even placed some of it on their steaks!!! FABULOUS RECIPE. Thanks so much.
Perfect summer bite before dinner! Especially with cherry tomatoes from my garden.
Not only was this delicious the first time around, but the leftovers were fantastic on homemade pizza dough.
Simple and Delicious like all of your recipes. I used the leftovers in an omelette.
Can you reheat this recipe as I would like to try it before serving it to friends. If yes, how would you recommend that I reheat it ( oven, microwave??? )
Yes, Lynn, that’s fine. You can easily reheat it in the microwave.
Best appetizer I have eaten all summer!! So happy to have a new recipe for my abundant cherry tomato crop. Reminds me of Greek Saganaki. Thank you for another fabulous recipe!!
