Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the 2 garlic cloves.
- If your feta cheese is in a large block, cut it into bite-sized cubes. If you prefer, you can also crumble the feta for a more rustic texture.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the cubed or crumbled feta cheese.
- Pour the olive oil over the feta until it almost covers the cheese.
- Add the finely chopped garlic, dried oregano, and lemon juice to the bowl.
- Gently mix all the ingredients together, making sure the feta is well coated with the olive oil, herbs, and lemon juice. Be careful not to break the feta pieces too much if they are cubed.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight container or a jar.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once marinated, take the feta out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Serve as part of a cheese platter, in a salad, or as a standalone appetizer with some crusty bread.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can include other herbs like thyme or rosemary, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Make sure the feta is completely submerged in the olive oil to preserve it longer.
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- You can serve the marinated feta with crusty bread, fresh vegetables, or in salads.
- Allow the marinated feta to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor experience.
