Baked Feta and Olives with Crusty Baguette (gluten-free)
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Serves: 8-10

INGREDIENTS
Baked Olives and Feta:
250g block Greek feta
200g (1 cup) pitted kalamata olives
200g (1 cup) pitted green olives
150g (1 cup) semi sun-dried tomato strips, drained
3 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly ground pepper

To garnish (optional):
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Basil leaves
Chilli flakes (optional)
Lemon wedges

Sliced Baguette:
1 baguette (I used Schar gluten-free Baguette)
3-4 tablespoons olive oil or olive oil spray
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional dried parsley)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven and bake baguette: Line a baking tray with baking paper and preheat the oven to 200°C (fan forced). Slice the baguette into 2cm thick slices and place onto the baking sheet. Spray with olive oil and sprinkle parsley over the top. Place into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. While baking, prepare the olives and feta.

Combine the olives and semi sun-dried tomatoes: In a 25 x 15cm baking dish, place the kalamata and green olives, semi sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic. Toss to combine, then create a space in the centre for the block of feta.

Add the feta and herbs: Place the block of feta in the centre of the baking dish. Sprinkle the feta and olives with the dried oregano, basil, and thyme, then drizzle everything with extra virgin olive oil.

Bake: Remove the baguettes from the oven and place the feta and olives into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. In the meantime, arrange the sliced baguettes on a serving platter or bowl.

Garnish and Serve: Garnish the baked feta with finely chopped parsley, basil leaves, and optional chilli flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra kick. Serve warm out of the oven alongside the baguettes (or gluten-free crackers).

This dish is perfect for sharing with friends or as a light appetizer before a main course.
