I love using feta cheese in Greek-inspired recipes such as low carb Mediterranean quesadillas, Greek souvlaki chicken wings, and baked shrimp with feta. Usually with these dishes, the feta is just a component of the overall dish - and I've finally made it into the star! 

Once baked, it becomes soft - great for scooping up onto low carb chips or crunchy veggies! If you try it, let me know what you think in the comments!

How to Cook Mediterranean Baked Feta

Place a block of feta into an oven-safe dish - something that's only a little larger than the cheese. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic paste, and dried oregano.

Add some pitted mixed olives and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the bowl (with a little of the tomato oil), season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Make sure to use pitted olives - the first time I made this I used whole olives and it was a disaster! Also, you can increase the quantity of tomatoes used if not all your guests are low carbers - they taste great but the carbohydrates add up fast.

Spoon the olive mixture over the cheese, ensuring the top surface of the feta is covered in oil.

Bake uncovered in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. After this time the cheese will be soft and warm, and will be infused with all the fantastic flavors of the olives and sun-dried tomatoes.

I garnished the feta with a sprig of fresh oregano - but that is completely optional.

Try serving this dish with some low carb bagel chips!
