Baked Feta With Tomatoes, Peppers And Olives

A wonderfully simple Greek appetizer of baked feta cheese with tomatoes, peppers, olives, oregano and paprika. You could say it's like a warm Greek salad! It tastes incredible squished onto bread with or without a glass of ouzo or wine on the side!

📝 Ingredients

• 9 ounces cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
• 1/2 red pepper (sliced into smallish strips)
• 1/2 green pepper (sliced into smallish strips (or just use 1 green or red pepper))
• 1/4 medium onion ((1/4 to 1/2) sliced thinly)
• 15 Kalamata olives (stoned and chopped in half (or leave whole but buy stoned olives))
• 3.5 ounces feta cheese ((Try to buy an entire thick slice - I prefer Greek))
• 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus a little extra)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• black pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pre-heat oven and put vegetables in dish.: Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F. Put the tomato halves, pepper pieces, onion and olives into a small to medium baking dish (around 8 inch x 8 inch or similar).
2. 2Mix in oregano and oil.: Sprinkle over the oregano and pour over the olive oil. Mix well.
3. 3Add feta to dish.: Clear a gap in the middle of the vegetables. Nestle the block of feta in it.
4. 4Add paprika, pepper and a bit more oil.: Sprinkle the whole dish with the paprika and some black pepper (to taste). Drizzle the top of the cheese with a little more olive oil.
5. 5Bake.: Bake for 30 minutes until the vegetables are starting to bubble and brown and the feta is soft.
6. 6Serve.: Serve immediately with fresh toasted bread (everyone serves themselves onto individual plates).
