Instructions

Fresh Herb Marinated Feta:
In a medium size microwave-safe bowl, heat olive oil on high for 1 minute. Add garlic and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add all other ingredients except the Feta.
Place Feta in a medium size ziplock bag and add oil/herb mixture. Place bag in a clean bowl in refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours in advance. Turn bag every now and then to keep all sides of Feta covered with oil/herb mixture.
Bring to room temperature by removing bag from refrigerator about an hour before serving. To serve, remove Feta block from bag and place on a small serving tray. Drizzle herb mixture over the top. Serve with crostini, crackers or a loaf of warm, crusty bread. Bon Appetit!
Serves 6-8 as an appetizer.

Notes

* Although any Feta cheese will work well in this flavorful recipe, Feta cheese that’s actually made in Greece is the best. We also love French Feta which is a bit lighter and creamier. Either of these can be found at your local grocers in the specialty cheese section and at Mediterranean grocers. (Yes, my Mediterranean market carries French Feta!)
