Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1 block of feta cheese (any size works!)
Toppings
- 1 drizzle of olive oil
- 3 to 4 tablespoons chili crisp
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the feta to perfection.
- Prepare Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in a baking dish and drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil to keep it moist and add flavor.
- Bake: Bake the feta in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until it softens and starts to warm through.
- Broil: Switch your oven to broil, and broil the feta for 2 to 3 minutes or until the top becomes golden and slightly crisp, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Add Chili Crunch: Remove the baking dish from the oven and either transfer the feta to a serving plate or leave it in the baking dish. Spoon the chili crisp evenly over the top.
- Serve: Serve immediately with crackers or pita chips for dipping and scooping the spicy, creamy baked feta.
Notes
- The size of the feta block can vary, but adjust baking time slightly if using a much larger or smaller piece.
- Chili crisp can be substituted or adjusted according to preferred spice level.
- Serve as a warm appetizer or side dish alongside fresh vegetables or bread.
- Watch the feta closely during broiling to prevent burning.
