Ingredients:
2 cups grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
1 cup pitted olives preferably a medley of green olives and Kalamata olives
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp dried oregano plus extra
1 tsp dried basil plus extra
4 TBSP olive oil or EVOO (good quality), divided (use more oil if needed)
8 oz feta cheese block choose a full-fat, brined feta cheese, preferably, and drain the liquid before baking (NOT CRUMBLED FETA)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 ½ TBSP honey divided (you can skip this but it provides a balance of flavors). Use sugar-free honey for a keto appetizer!
Fresh basil and oregano optional (to garnish)
Crostini or (pita chips) to serve with

How to make baked feta cheese dip:
1. To start, place grape tomatoes and olives in a baking dish. Toss them well with minced garlic, dried oregano and basil, 3 tbsp of olive oil, and 2 tbsp of honey.
2. Using a spoon, push the vegetables to the sides of the baking dish and place the block of feta cheese right in the middle.
3. Drizzle the cheese with 1 tbsp of olive oil (or more if you want) and sprinkle extra dried herbs on top and a good pinch of red pepper flakes.
4. Bake at 350° F (180° C) for about 20-25 minutes on the middle rack until soft. Then, brush 1/2 tbsp of honey on top of the feta cheese and broil it on the oven top rack until golden brown on top (about 3-5 minutes).
5. Alternatively, you can bake the cheese at 430° F (220° C) for 10 minutes on the oven top rack, or until soft and charred. It will take less time to bake but the top can brown faster!
6. Because we used honey in this baked feta recipe, we used the first method; otherwise, the top might have browned too much. Either way, the spreadable feta will be soft, but not melted!
7. Serve it with fresh herbs such as fresh basil leaves (and/or oregano leaves) and crostini or pita chips.
