Baked Feta and Olives

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 x 100 g Feta with Black Pepper crackers.

1 x 200 g sachet pitted green olives

1 x 200 g sachet pitted black olives

2 cloves garlic – thinly sliced

125 ml sun-dried tomatoes – optional

1 chilli – optional

2-3 sprigs rosemary

45 ml / 3 T olive oil salt and black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 200 0C.

2. Place the two blocks of feta in a baking dish. Drizzle with all the oil over and around the cheese.

3. Add all the other ingredients and bake for about 10 – 15 minutes until the feta has a light golden colour around the edges.

4. Serve warm with plenty of warm bread or slices of crispy garlic toast.

5. Warm sourdough bread with cut fresh herbs such as basil and mini meatballs make a lovely addition too.

6. If you stock up on cheese, different kinds, you will always be prepared to whip up something quick and delicious.

1. Replace the olives with cocktail tomatoes and bake in the same way as the olives.

2. You can use a Brie or Camembert Cheese instead of the feta. Delicious.

3. Use a different herb such as thyme or oregano.
