A classic Greek meze of feta, tomatoes, and peppers baked with herbs, chili flakes, and kasseri cheese until bubbling and golden—perfect for scooping up with warm toasted bread.

  • Total Time: 50–55 minutes
  • Yield: 2–4 servings

Ingredients

  • 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 green bull’s horn pepper (130 g), thinly sliced
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 56 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 g kasseri cheese, grated
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • To serve: Toasted bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F), fan setting.
  2. In a bowl, combine sugar, chili flakes, oregano, olive oil, tomatoes, and sliced pepper. Season with black pepper and mix well.
  3. Spread half of the tomato-pepper mixture in a 12 cm baking dish. Crumble feta over it. Add remaining mixture on top.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove foil, sprinkle with grated kasseri, and bake for 10–15 more minutes (or broil for 5 minutes) until cheese is melted and golden.
  6. Stir gently and serve immediately with toasted bread.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more chili flakes or sliced fresh chili.
  • If kasseri isn’t available, substitute mozzarella or provolone.
  • Best enjoyed hot and fresh from the oven.
