For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture. Consider using a high-quality feta cheese packed in brine for the best flavor and texture. Roasting the tomatoes and feta on a higher temperature (425F) can shorten the roasting time slightly, but watch carefully to prevent burning.

5 mins
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Place the feta cheese in the center of a small baking dish (about 8-inches). Spread the honey evenly over the top of the feta, then drizzle generously with olive oil. (2 minutes)
03
Step
8 mins
In a medium bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, olives, red onion, olive oil, and minced garlic. Sprinkle with dried oregano, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss gently to combine. Arrange the tomato mixture around the feta cheese in the baking dish. (8 minutes)

Bake in the preheated oven until the feta cheese is softened and slightly melted and the tomato mixture is bubbly and bursting with flavor, about 20 to 30 minutes. For added color and a slightly caramelized top, briefly place under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. (20-30 minutes)

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil. Serve warm immediately with crusty bread, pita chips, or crackers for dipping. (5 minutes)
