- 8 oz feta block not feta crumbles
- 1 cup Natural Delights Medjool Dates chopped
- ½ cup hazelnuts chopped
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more, for drizzling

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.

- Sprinkle date and hazelnut topping on and around the feta cheese.
- Drizzle the olive oil on top of the whole dish. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until you have a soft and creamy feta and toasted, plump and browned nuts and dates. Keep a close eye on the roasted feta in the last five minutes, to prevent burning.
