5-Minute Tomato Appetizer with Feta

The easiest fresh tomato recipe you'll try! This tomato appetizer, finished with crumbled feta and a drizzle of olive oil, is a simple yet elegant dish that comes together in less than 5 minutes. You can also serve it as a side next to your favorite entree (I have some ideas up in the post). It's also great for brunch next to an omelet or an egg casserole!

Ingredients

  • 6 Campari tomatoes, (or you can use Roma tomatoes)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the Campari tomatoes in half horizontally (around the equator). If using Roma tomatoes instead, cut them in half vertically (the long way).
  2. Assemble the tomato halves on a plate with flesh side facing you. Top each half with some crumbled feta. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and finish with a pinch of Aleppo-style pepper or red pepper flakes, if using. Serve.

Notes

  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 2 days or so, but this appetizer is best served fresh. 
  • Visit Our Shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients, including extra virgin olive oils and spices. For this recipe, I recommend our Spanish Hojblanca EVOO or our Italian Nocellara EVOO.
