Feta Psiti

A block of feta bakes in a parcel with tomato, pepper, and oregano until soft and fragrant with olive oil.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 250 g feta, in one block
• 1 tomato
• 1 red pointed pepper
• 1/2 red onion
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 1 lemon
• Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C conventional heat and lay a large sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray.
2. Slice the tomato, cut the pointed pepper into rings, and slice the half red onion into thin strips.
3. Place the block of feta on the paper, top it with the vegetables, and season with olive oil, oregano, chili flakes, and pepper.
4. Fold the paper over the cheese into a closed parcel so the steam doesn't escape while baking.
5. Bake for 25 min., then open the parcel and bake for another 5 min., until the surface gets light brown spots.
6. Serve straight from the opened parcel with a squeeze of lemon, while the feta is still warm and creamy.
