Hot Honey Roasted Feta
- Yield: Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8-ounce block feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Pita chips and/or fluffy pita bread wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Adjust your oven rack to the middle position. Place the feta in a small ceramic baking dish (NOTE: you can use a pie plate or even a cake pan if you don’t have an earthenware dish; just line it with foil and leave an overhanging “handle” of excess foil above the edges, so you can remove the feta to a platter after cooking).
- Drizzle with the olive oil, covering the feta’s surface, and bake for 10 minutes, or just until the cheese is soft but not melted.
- Take the feta out of the oven. Preheat the broiler. Cover the feta’s surface with the honey. Sprinkle with the chili flakes (see note for quick-fix option). Broil just until the cheese starts to brown and bubbles slightly. Serve with crunchy pita chips and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves (if using).
Notes
NOTE 1: Instead of sprinkling honey with chili flakes, you can just use store-bought hot honey if you prefer. Either approach is delicious.
