Favorite Baked Feta Dip With Tomatoes, Peppers And Olives
Report
A wonderfully simple Greek appetizer of baked feta cheese with tomatoes, peppers, olives, oregano and paprika. This hot dip tastes a bit like a warm Greek salad and is wonderful smooshed onto bread with or without a glass of ouzo or wine!

Ingredients
- 3.5 ounces feta cheese (Try to buy an entire thick slice - I prefer Greek)
- 9 ounces cherry tomatoes cut in half
- ½ red pepper sliced into smallish strips
- ½ green pepper sliced into smallish strips (or just use 1 green or red pepper)
- ¼ medium onion (¼ to ½) sliced thinly
- 15 kalamata olives stoned and chopped in half (or leave whole but buy stoned olives)
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus a little extra
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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).
- Sprinkle over the oregano and pour over the olive oil. Mix well.
- Clear a gap in the middle of the vegetables. Nestle the block of feta in it.
- 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.
- Bake for 30 minutes until the vegetables are starting to bubble and brown and the feta is soft.
- Serve immediately with fresh toasted bread (everyone serves themselves onto individual plates).

Notes
- Ingredient amounts: The amounts in this recipe are just a rough guide. After you've made it a couple of times, you'll probably be able to make it without the recipe! You can also double the ingredients to serve to a bigger crowd. Just use a larger baking dish and bake 2 blocks of feta and double everything else.
- How to serve: This dish is best served immediately while the feta is warm and squidgy, although it's still delicious once cooled down a bit. Serve as a light bite for 2, an appetizer for 4, or a side dish for a family dinner. Or double the ingredients and serve at a BBQ or party as a side dish/buffet offering.
