Description
A delicious baked feta dish topped with vibrant peppers and served with toasted sourdough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 spicy red pepper, thinly sliced into round (remove seeds if desired)
- 1 beefsteak or garden tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp dried oregano or to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- 220–225 grams block of quality feta cheese (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
- 3–4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4–6 large slices of toasted sourdough for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and place the oven rack to the top-third of the oven.
- Set aside a few slices of each of the red bell pepper, green bell pepper and spicy red pepper along with 3 slices of tomato (halve the slices so you have 6 semi-circles of tomato).
- To a small baking dish, add the remaining slices of tomato, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and spicy red pepper. Sprinkle the dried oregano and a few turns of ground pepper over top of peppers in the baking dish.
- Place the block of feta cheese on top of the peppers and tomato slices in the baking dish. Then, top the block of feta cheese with the peppers you set aside and 3 slices of tomato, halved. Drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the feta.
- Bake in the oven for 28-30 minutes, until the feta cheese is super soft, the vegetables are very tender and the tomato topping is caramelized.
- While the feta bakes, toast slices of sourdough in a cast iron skillet with a drizzle of olive oil OR brush the slices of bread with olive oil and toast on a baking sheet in the oven alongside the feta towards the end of the baking time.
- Serve the baked feta with the slices of toasted sourdough.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with a fresh salad.
