Ingredients

• 1 200g Block of feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 100 grams Cherry tomatoes (optional)
• 4 pieces Pita bread or crackers (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the block of feta cheese dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

Brush the feta generously with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on all sides, ensuring it's well-coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dried oregano, red chili flakes, and lemon zest evenly over the top of the feta block.

Step 5

Place the seasoned feta block directly onto the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, carefully flipping it with a spatula to avoid breaking it. The feta should develop a golden char on the exterior, but remain intact.

Step 6

If using cherry tomatoes, toss them with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill alongside the feta for 4-5 minutes, until they begin to blister and soften.

Step 7

Once the feta is grilled, transfer it carefully to a serving plate. Add the grilled cherry tomatoes (if using) and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top.

Step 8

Serve the grilled feta immediately with warm pita bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
