Baked Feta Cheese, Grape Tomatoes & Greek Olives

Written by Published on Updated on June 5, 2019 in Appetizers

Hello,

How is everyone?  I hope you are all having a good start to the new week. My weekend was very relaxing.  I really didn’t do much than just sit around and re-charge my batteries.  Sunday, was just one of those gorgeous Spring days, filled with sunshine and it was quite warm. 🙂  We were able to sit in the garden for a while, but as I was looking around at my garden it seems that it in need of some TLC. 🙂  It is that time of year again, so I need to cut the grass, plant some flowers, etc.  I purchased my veggie, herb seeds a while back so I was able to plant them into my mini garden. 🙂 

I didn’t cook much, but I did make a few appetisers. This recipe is another quick and delicious appetiser that will be great addition to your table.  I posted a similar recipe last year, but this time I added a few Greek Olives to give it a more interesting twist.  I think you might enjoy the smokey taste the Olives give to the cheese.  I loved it!! 🙂  

Happy Monday and have a great week!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
