Recipe - Baked Feta Cheese with Olives and Lemon


Ingredients
  • 200g sheep's milk feta (sold in the brine)
  • 1/2 cup good extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 large lemon
  • 1 - 2 cups mixed olives
  • 3 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
  • A few coarse grindings of black pepper
Instructions
  1. Set oven to 180C
  2. Put the feta in a gratin dish or other small ovenproof dish that you will also serve out of. You can also use 2 small dishes/cut the feta in half laterally
  3. Pour the olive oil into the dish, followed by the lemon juice. Arrange the olives around the cheese, with the rosemary.
  4. Quarter the squeezed lemon half and throw that in as well. 
  5. Sprinkle the red and black pepper over all.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbling. I loosely laid a sheet of foil over mine. You can finish under the broiler if you like for a little charring effect.
  7. Serve hot with toasted bread.
Note: I took this pic of before they went into the oven. Thank goodness because as soon as they came out we dived straight in!
