Feta Cheese Bread with Herbs
I love feta cheese on cabbage salad, Greek salads, or tarts (also with roasted figs). I add feta with orzo pasta, Khachapuri, or some of my favorite appetizers as well (or super easy with fresh figs). One of my favorite dishes with feta is Whipped Feta Cheese with Tomatoes and Basil on Toast because in the summer it is a great and simple dish! As well, it goes great with Grilled Portobello with Tomatoes, where I can usually add feta as well.
This feta cheese bread with herbs I made a long time ago very often, and I totally forgot about it, but checking my old recipes a couple of weeks ago, I found it and decided to make it again and it turned out perfect! Definitely will make more later because it is so easy with very simple ingredients, and so delicious too! You can use almost any herbs to your taste, or add some finely chopped sundried tomatoes in olive oil or baked bell pepper. The feta cheese can be replaced with Mexican cheese Queso Fresco. It’s good hot or cold, depending on your taste.
