Ingredients

• 200 grams Block of feta cheese
• 120 ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0 Cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1

Cut the block of feta cheese into 1-inch cubes and place them in a clean, dry glass jar or storage container.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sliced garlic, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, dried oregano, red chili flakes, lemon zest, and a pinch of cracked black pepper. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

Pour the olive oil and herb mixture over the feta cubes, ensuring the cheese is fully submerged in the oil.

Step 4

Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 48 hours.

Step 5

When ready to serve, bring the marinated feta to room temperature for 15–20 minutes to allow the olive oil to return to a liquid state if it has solidified in the fridge.

Step 6

Serve the marinated feta with crusty bread, crackers, or as part of a mezze platter. It can also be used as a topping for salads, pizzas, or roasted vegetables.
