Dressed Feta Cheese

We particularly like the flavor and firm texture of Bulgarian feta cheese, which is easy to slice, but other types can also be used.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

1 pound feta cheese, drained well
5 large sprigs fresh dill
5 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 scallion, including green parts
1 teaspoon whole pink peppercorns
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the feta into 1/2-inch-thick slices, wiping the knife each time to keep the cheese from crumbling. Arrange on a serving dish.

    Step 2

    Pick the leaves from the herbs, and chop finely. Slice the scallion into thin rounds. Combine herbs and scallion in a small bowl; stir in peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Spoon the herb mixture over the feta. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon oil, and serve.
