Yield Makes 4 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb feta (preferably Greek), rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup bottled roasted red peppers, chopped
10 Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted, rinsed, and coarsely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Accompaniment: lemon wedges; toasted pita wedges or crusty bread
Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Cut cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and divide evenly among 4 small flameproof baking dishes (or arrange in 1 layer in a large one). Sprinkle oregano and pepper over cheese.
  • Stir together roasted peppers, olives, and oil in a small bowl, then spoon mixture over and around cheese.
  • Broil 2 to 4 inches from heat until edges of cheese are golden, about 5 minutes.
