3-Ingredient Feta Bakes
Some recipes don’t need much explanation—they just work every time. This baked feta is one of those dependable dishes. It’s quick, simple, and consistently a hit. With only a few ingredients, it becomes warm, creamy, and full of flavor in less than half an hour, making it ideal for easy dinners or relaxed get-togethers.
Serve it straight from the oven and let everyone break into the soft, golden feta along with the infused olive oil. It pairs nicely with fresh vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, or tomatoes, and also goes well with grilled meats or a light salad. Add bread or crackers if you want something to soak up the seasoned oil.
3-Ingredient Baked Feta
Ingredients
- 16 oz block feta cheese, drained and patted dry
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the cheese
Pat the feta dry and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Arrange them in a small baking dish with a bit of space between each piece.
3. Add oil and seasoning
Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and sprinkle evenly with oregano.
4. Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden and the center becomes soft.
5. Optional finishing step
For extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
6. Rest and serve
Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the warm, herbed oil over the feta when serving.
