Ingredients
  

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

200g feta cheese block

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped (optional for extra freshness)

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Crusty bread or pita for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Baking Dish: In a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and finely minced garlic. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, and then generously sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you prefer some heat). Use a spatula or spoon to mix the ingredients together until they're evenly coated.

      Add the Feta: Create a small well in the center of the tomato and garlic mixture and place the block of feta cheese there. Make sure it is nestled among the tomatoes for optimal flavor and baking.

        Bake: Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes are bursting and tender, and the top of the feta has turned a lovely golden color.

          Finish with Fresh Herbs: After baking, take the dish out of the oven and immediately sprinkle the freshly chopped basil over the top. This will elevate the dish with a fresh aroma and vibrant color.

            Serve: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm alongside crusty bread or pita chips, perfect for scooping up the creamy, melted feta and juicy tomatoes.
