Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the feta cheese into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed feta in a bowl or a jar that has an airtight lid.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh thyme, chopped rosemary, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the sliced olives to the marinade, mixing them in so that they are well coated with the olive oil and herbs.
- Pour the marinade mixture over the cubed feta in the bowl or jar, ensuring that all the feta pieces are coated with the marinade.
- Use a spoon to gently mix and ensure that the olives and herbs are evenly distributed among the feta cubes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the jar with its lid.
- Marinate the feta in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Once marinated, the feta can be served directly from the jar or transferred to a serving dish.
- Garnish with a few additional sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
- Serve the herb marinated feta along with crusty bread, crackers, or as part of a Mediterranean-inspired appetizer platter.
Tips:
- Use good quality feta cheese for the best flavor. Greek or Bulgarian feta works well.
- Allow the feta to marinate for at least a few hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
- Serve the marinated feta at room temperature to fully appreciate its taste and texture.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your personal preferences.
- Make sure to press the feta cheese gently while slicing to avoid crumbling.
With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a sophisticated and flavorful appetizer that brings together the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. Herb marinated feta is not only simple to prepare but also versatile, making it an excellent choice for a variety of occasions. Enjoy it with some crusty bread or as part of a larger spread.
