Ingredients
  • 1 block of organic feta cheese (8 ounces, preferably fresh and packed in water)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, cold-pressed
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

  3. Place the feta block in a small, broiler-safe dish.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the feta and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and lemon zest.
  5. Broil for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until the cheese develops a golden crust.
  6. Topping and Serving:
  7. Garnish the broiled feta with fresh oregano and an optional drizzle of honey for a sweet-savory balance.
  8. Serve immediately with gluten-free crackers and a side of mixed greens for a complete dish.
