Mediterranean Baked Feta
Report
This easy Mediterranean baked feta with an herb-infused olive and sun-dried tomato topping is officially my signature appetizer for dinner parties. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!

Ingredients
- 8 ounces block feta cheese
- 1 cup pitted olives drained and halved
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- pinch red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- roughly chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place the feta. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the feta cheese in a small baking dish.
- Stir the topping. In a medium mixing bowl, add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Top the feta. Pour the topping all over the feta making sure it's fully coated in the oil, then push the majority of olives and sun-dried tomatoes to the side.
- Bake the feta. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the feta is softened. Optionally, turn on the top broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the top of the feta. Just watch that you don't burn the olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with crostini or sliced cucumber.

Notes
- To store leftovers in the fridge: I doubt you'll have any leftovers, but if you do, store them in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- To reheat: Place this back into a baking dish and bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm. Alternatively, you can microwave in 20-second increments.
- For making ahead of time: Assemble the dish and bake it right before guests arrive or when you reach your destination. Alternatively, you can bake it and tuck it into a pre-warmed bag if you plan to bring it somewhere. The residual heat of the baking dish should keep it perfectly warm.
- I love serving the baked feta with these gluten-free flatbreads!
- I also just bought this olive jar with strainer, so that I don't have to individually pick out olives again in the future (as seen in the video 😂).
