Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)

  • Preheat oven to 400 deg. Grease an 8" square baking dish.
  • In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except the scallions for garnish.

  • Bake until lightly browned and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Garnish with the remaining scallion and serve warm.
