This delicious appetizer is perfect for any occasion! Whether it’s served on a backyard BBQ, or on a holiday table, everyone will love this cheesy warm dip! Plus, it’s super versatile and the ingredients can be changed up depending on what you have. I’ll include some ideas below. It’s based on my popular baked feta pasta (a viral TikTok trend) that many of you have tried and loved!
Baked Feta Ingredients
To make this tasty dip, you will need the following ingredients:
Feta cheese – go for the creamy type (contains a higher percentage of fat). Crumbles will work, but the dip won’t be as creamy.Cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, black olives, and capers.Olive oil, chili flakes (optional), salt, pepper, and fresh basil leaves.
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
How to Make Mediterranean Baked Feta
Top Tips
Roast until the cherry tomatoes burst – or slice the tomatoes before roasting as you really want the tomatoes to soften and release their juices into the dip.Slice or dice the onion – If you like onions, then slice them thinly and roast. Or, dice them finely and let them disappear in the dip.Change it up – use your favorite vegetables. You can add mushrooms, artichokes, kalamata olives, diced eggplant, you name it!Make it with a different cheese – If you’re not a fan of feta, substitute it with a mozzarella ball, ricotta, goat cheese, or add a burrata ball after roasting.
What to Serve With
I like to serve this dip with pita chips, crackers, or crudites, as an appetizer on its own. But it can also be served as a part of a mezze platter, or antipasti sharing board. © Little Sunny Kitchen
