Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz feta cheese block
  • 2 cups mixed olives
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 baguette, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch baking dish, arrange the olives, garlic, lemon slices, thyme sprigs, red pepper flakes, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Place the feta block on top. Pour the olive oil all over.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the feta begins to melt slightly and the olives are wrinkly.
  • Slice the baguette and toast to your preference. I usually remove the feta from the oven, switch on the broiler, and toast the bread that way.
  • Serve hot with the bread and extra herbs, as desired.
