Instructions

The scent of lemon charring, tomatoes popping, and feta softening into molten perfection—it’s a full-on Mediterranean moment…

Preheat & Prep 🔥
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat the BBQ. In a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish, place the feta in the center.

Layer the Flavors 🍅🍋🧄
Around the feta, scatter cherry tomatoes, olives, lemon slices, and garlic. Drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano and cracked black pepper.

Bake Until Bubbling 🧀
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the feta is golden at the edges, tomatoes have burst, and lemon slices are lightly caramelized.

Garnish & Serve 🌿
Drizzle with more olive oil, add fresh herbs, and sprinkle chili flakes if desired. Serve directly in the skillet with warm pita or crusty bread.
