Marinated greek feta

Marinated Greek feta is a delightful and versatile dish that's perfect for appetizers, salads, or just enjoying on its own. By combining creamy feta cheese with high-quality olive oil, aromatic spices, and olives, you get a burst of Mediterranean flavors that elevate any meal.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup feta cheese
72g
1 cup olive oil
240g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 bay leaf
0.60g
1/3 cup olives
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks.
- Pit and halve the olives if they are not pre-pitted.
2. Mix the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl or a mason jar, combine the olive oil, black pepper, dried oregano, and bay leaf.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the crumbled feta cheese and the halved olives to the oil mixture. If using a mason jar, secure the lid and gently shake to combine. If using a bowl, gently stir the ingredients to ensure everything is well coated with the marinade.
4. Marinate:
- Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, let it marinate overnight to let the flavors meld together.
5. Serve:
- Remove from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the olive oil to liquefy if it has solidified.
- Serve the marinated feta and olives with crusty bread, on top of salads, or as part of a mezze platter.
6. Storage:
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips:

- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.

- Let the feta marinate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Store the marinated feta in an airtight container in the fridge, and it will keep well for up to a week.

- Experiment with additional herbs like thyme or rosemary for a different twist.

- Serve with crusty bread or crackers to soak up the delicious oil and spices.
