Ingredients
- 8 oz block firm feta, drained
- 1/4 c honey
- 2 T olive oil, plus more for serving
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- red-pepper flakes, to taste
- flaky sea salt
- crisp flatbread crackers, for serving
Preparation
Heat the oven to 400°. Place the feta in a baking dish just a little larger than it, about 2-3 cups. Pour the honey over and around the block, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season the block and the honey with red-pepper flakes, and scatter with the whole thyme sprigs. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the block is warmed through and tender; transfer to the broiler, and cook until it's dark on top. Remove the feta from the oven, drizzle with a final glug/pour/spoonful of olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Eat right away, with small spoons to scoop the honey and thyme onto crackers.
