Baked feta with olives

If you are looking for something simple yet delicious to serve unexpected visitors then this baked feta and olives is for you! It takes just a few minutes to pop together, then when it comes out of the oven everyone can dive straight into the baked feta goodness. Baked feta and olives is perfect served with some toasted Turkish bread or your favourite crackers on a chilly evening with a glass of wine.

A warm starter to serve with drinks

We usually have the ingredients on hand for this baked feta and olives recipe, which makes it perfect to make in a pinch if some unexpected guests pop around. It is lovely to serve something warm out of the oven, rather than a cold dip and crackers, especially if the weather is cooler or if it is in the evening.

What feta is best for baked feta and olives?

We prefer to use the creamy or Danish style feta in this recipe as we prefer the texture of it. Any block of feta would work though.

What olives are best to use in baked feta and olives?

We like to use a mixture of varieties of pitted olives in this recipe, as we just found it easier to eat if you wanted to spread the baked feta and olives on to a slice of bread. Usually we prefer olives with the pits as they are generally a better quality.

You don’t need the olives to be marinated or flavoured at all, as we are adding flavour to the olives when we bake them with the feta. Any type of olives will work in this recipe though.

Our favourite dip recipes

We love a good dip around here, and we really enjoy making them at home. Not only is a homemade dip usually tastier, you also can tailor it to your ingredient preferences and personal taste. A dip served with crackers or veggie sticks is great to put out if you are entertaining or for a weekend snack while watching a movie or a sporting match.

• We prefer to use pitted olives in this recipe, as it is just easier to eat.

Suggestions

• It is best to eat this recipe on the day it is prepared. Any leftover cheese can go a little firm, we have crumbled leftover oven-baked feta it into an omelette successfully. Any leftover olives are fine to keep refrigerated for a few days.
• You can prepare this dish in advance and keep the baking dish in the fridge, then bake just prior to serving.

Make it low carb

• This recipe is pretty low carb as is, it is just the bread or crackers you choose to serve it with that would need to be low carb.
