Roasted Feta

You know you’ve been slacking when your mother (who RARELY reads your blog) sends you a one line email saying “nothing since November?!?!?”

For the record, I’ve only been slacking on Healthy-ish (and Mauka to Makai) because I’ve been insanely busy with other things. Alas, my need for sleep is no reason to deny you the deliciousness you deserve. And so, behold…deliciousness:

(Adapted from Food52)

8 oz. slab of Feta (ideally, the local stuff)

2 tbsp. EVOO

1 tbsp. honey

Dip-ables: I highly recommend sliced pears, but apples or crackers or pieces of pita would be good too.

1. Preheat oven to 400°.

2. Blot the Feta dry and place it in a small oven-to-table dish. Cover the Feta with the olive oil.

3. Bake until the Feta is soft and springy, but not melted, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and turn on the broiler.

4. Microwave the honey until it’s pourable (no more than 30 seconds) and then pour it over the feta.

5. Broil until the top of the cheese starts to brown and bubble, but not burn.

6. Serve immediately.
