Notes

  • It's best to use a block of feta in brine since it has a lot of flavor, but the ones that are in a package without brine work too. If using feta in brine, make sure to pat dry the feta just a bit before baking. 
  • The amount of honey, zaatar and oregano used in this recipe is up to you and how sweet and tangy you'd like your baked feta appetizer to be. 
  • If you don't have a small cast iron skillet, use a baking dish or any other oven safe dish.
