Favorite Baked Feta Dip With Tomatoes, Peppers And Olives
This baked feta dip combines a thick slab of feta cheese nestled among a mixture of cherry tomatoes, sliced red and green peppers, onion, and kalamata olives. The vegetables roast with oregano, paprika, and olive oil until bubbling and slightly browned, while the feta softens to a creamy texture. Served warm, it’s ideal for scooping with toasted bread.

Ingredients
- 3.5 ounces feta cheese (Try to buy an entire thick slice - I prefer Greek)
- 9 ounces cherry tomato 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 onion ¼ to ½) sliced thinly, medium
- 15 kalamata olives stoned and chopped in half (or leave whole but buy stoned olives)
- ½ tablespoon oregano dried
- 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
- The ingredient amounts are approximate; adjust to your taste or double to serve more guests.
- Serve immediately after baking so the feta remains warm and spreadable.
- This dip works well as a light appetizer or side dish for small gatherings or parties.
