Your new fave holiday party app.

Mediterranean Feta Bake, recipe and photo by me, Anna Vocino

I’ve never been one to run away from a dip. I think if I could just eat meat and dips, that’s all I would need for the rest of my life.

Feta is a firm Greek sheep’s milk cheese that doesn’t melt so much as become a savory, tangy Tempurpedic pillow that when combined with Mediterranean flavors under the heat of the oven, is the only taste sensation I want to have for the rest of this holiday season.

Think I’m exaggerating?

Quick pause for holiday gift updates—

We have one Eat Happy Kitchen Holiday Gift Bundles left in stock. Wow. They sold out in 2 days! Click here to grab the last one.

If you feel left out, don’t. We only had 50 of them because I wasn’t sure if they would sell! You can still get sauces and spices and pack them into a cute gift bag for your friends and family, and I strongly suggest you do!

Also this link is the best place to price shop the hardcover editions of Eat Happy and Eat Happy Too.

Now it’s time for this bake recipe. This is a great app to bring to a holiday party. All of the holiday parties.

Side note: when this comes out of the oven, I like to slice the feta in the pan into diagonal thin slices so that they’re easy to grab with a fork, Almond Flour Pita Chips (recipe in Eat Happy), or veggie slices.

As always, here’s a downloadable, printable PDF of this recipe for your files.

MEDITERRANEAN FETA BAKE

(Serves 4-6)

• Olive oil, for drizzling

• 8-ounce square feta cheese

• 1/4 red onion, sliced

• 6 mini bell peppers, thinly sliced lengthwise

• 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes

• 1/2 cup whole pitted Kalamata olives

• Salt and pepper

• Basil leaves, for garnish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Dredge bottom of an 8x8 square baking pan with olive oil. Place feta square in the center. Spread onion slices, bell pepper slices, cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, and olives around the feta. Season just the veggies around the cheese with salt and pepper. Drizzle more olive oil atop veggies and feta cheese. Bake in oven for 1 hour, or until veggies are soft and blistered and feta is soft and starting to turn golden. Remove from oven and serve with Almond Flour Pita Chips or sliced veggies.
