Pairs Well With
Serves 4
Ingredients
Serve this tasty appetizers with pita bread or sliced baguettes.
1 (8 ounce) block feta cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
10.5 ounces cherry tomatoes, preferably different colors, halved
Scant 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Pinch sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons capers, drained
Preparation
Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack in the top position. Place the feta in a small (1.5-quart) baking dish and set aside.
Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers.
Scatter the tomatoes around the feta and broil until the feta is softened and browned on top, about 4 minutes (but keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly). Serve immediately.
