Ingredients

  • 8 oz block feta cheese, patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme, halved
  • 2 or 3 Fresh figs, cut in half, optional
  • 1/4 chopped pistachios
  • Crostini or crackers, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and position a rack in the upper third.
  • Place the block of feta in a small oven-safe dish. Drizzle with the olive oil and honey.
  • Add the thyme sprigs around the feta in the dish. Arrange a couple of fresh figs around the feta, if using.
  • Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the feta is warmed through and slightly softened.
  • Remove from the oven, and top with chopped pistachios and a drizzle of honey. Serve immediately with crostini or crackers.

Notes

How to Store
Fresh is best, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. Avoid microwaving because feta can become rubbery.
