Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 8 oz block of feta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- few sprigs of fresh thyme
- drizzle of honey
- 5 figs
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Pat dry feta with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Place whole block of feta into your baking dish. Pour drizzle of olive oil over the feta and brush with a pastry brush so that it's evenly coated.
- Add in a few sprigs of thyme. Place baking dish on the bottom rack and bake at 400°F for 9 minutes. Once removed from the oven, feta should feel soft to the touch.
- Next, you'll want to drizzle honey over the entire block of feta. There's no measurement for this. Measure with your heart!
- Wash your figs, then cut them in half. Proceed to cut each half into thirds for a total of 6 slices per fig. Layer figs over the honey and feta. Arrange a few slices around the block of feta as well.
- Broil on high heat until the top starts to turn golden brown. This will take about 5 minutes. Toast a few slices of your favorite crusty bread. Using a cheese spreader, spread a bit of the cheese and fig mixture over your bread, drizzle with a little more honey and enjoy!
