Baked Feta Cheese

baking a block of feta cheese seems counterintuitive, since feta is usually served cold, but this recipe got very good reviews and is really easy to make.

 
this can be prepared and stored in the fridge up to a day in advance.



 - you can use any size block of feta, depending on how many people you are serving.




 - place unwrapped feta on a piece of foil

- drizzle with olive oil

- sprinkle basil and oregano

- top with capers








- fold foil over to cover and crimp edges to seal


- bake at 350 for 35 minutes





- open foil and drain off liquid.  (the liquid is the brine that is used in the making of the cheese; without it the cheese becomes mild and creamy)

 

 - serve with crackers and sundried tomatoes. (if using the sundried tomatoes that are packed in oil you could use that on top of the feta instead of the olive oil and spices before baking)
