Preparation

Chef’s notes

The feta will not melt, just warm and soften. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
As it cools, the feta will firm up again. You can return the dish to the oven to soften it again, even with leftovers.
Consider using more tomatoes if desired, as they add sweetness to the salty feta.
For a variation, try grilling haloumi cheese instead of feta.
