MELISSA'S BAKED FETA CHEESE DIP



Melissa's Baked Feta Cheese Dip image

This is a staple in my apartment. I wash and reuse the dish I make it with more than any other dish in my apartment, I think. I picked up a liking for feta while in Greece during the summer of 2006. Don't be too heavy-handed with the onion powder, though. I like onion, but not so that it overpowers the feta. Great with a hearty bread and makes a good sandwich spread as well.
