Very tasty yet simple way to prepare feta. We had this for lunch with salad and pitta bread. Yum!

Tried this recipe on a whim to use up some feta in the fridge. Nice and simple but really tasty!! Used half a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes for the same effect as fresh. Great addition to a wine and cheese night!

The best thing about this is that it softens and is just perfect spread on crusty bread. Needs eating just baked whilst warm. It's delicious!

I did this in an oven proof dish, covered with foil, then uncovered to brown slightly for a further 5 mins. Very tasty and so popular with a crowd. I didn't have oregano so used thyme which was just as nice as when my friend made it!

Gemmalem I dont find that its goes too runny, but to be on the safe side why don't you wrap in parchment, then tin foil you can then remove the foil and pour back anything that has escaped. Its a yummy dish hope it goes well at your dinner party

Hi, does anyone know if this will have the same effect if I cook it in baking parchment instead of tinfoil? I'm having an everyone-sharing dinner party and thought that might be a bit nicer presentation than tin foil, but I don't want it leaking out etc! Any hel would be great, thanks.
