07 Nov Baked Feta with Za’atar Garlic & Olives / Portland Salt Co.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together the olive oil, zaatar, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon peel.
Place the olives, smashed garlic, thyme leaves and lemon wedges to the prepared marinade. Mix together until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40-55 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender in the center and slightly crisp on the outside.
Pat the block of feta dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel, and place in the center of a small baking dish. Surround the block of Feta with the Za’atar Olives and Garlic, ensuring you coat the top of the Feta well with olive oil marinade.
Bake until the feta is softened and the oil is bubbling. Carefully pull it out of the oven and drizzle the feta and olives with honey.
Broil for about 3-5 minutes, or until the feta is golden and charred on the edges.
Drizzle a little more honey to taste over the feta, sprinkle some flakey salt, and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers.
