• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 200°C and place the feta in a small baking dish.
2. Scatter the tomatoes and garlic around the feta and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle over the oregano and chilli flakes and season lightly.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the feta is soft and the tomatoes have burst.
5. Drizzle with honey and return to the oven for 2 minutes.
6. Scatter with basil and serve immediately with bread for scooping.

Pro tips

• Use a block of feta, not crumbled, so it softens without dissolving.
• Go easy on the salt, as feta is already salty.
• Serve straight from the dish while the cheese is still molten.
