Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 shallot
- 4 ounces feta cheese solid, in a block
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Toss the tomatoes with the avocado oil, salt, pepper, chopped garlic, and shallots.
- Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Make hole in the center. Put the block of feta into the center of the tomatoes, and sprinkle the block with the Italian seasoning.
- Nestle the sprigs of thyme into the tomatoes.
- Bake at 400-F for 30 minutes or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft and creamy.
- As soon as you take it from the oven, gently mix the soft feta into the tomatoes to create a creamy sauce. You may need to add a spoonful or two of water to help it get creamy.
- That's it! Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Card Tips
- Use a whole block of feta, not pre-crumbled, and whole milk feta specifically, for the creamiest sauce.
- Mix the feta into the tomatoes right when it comes out of the oven, while everything is still hot.
- Use grape or cherry tomatoes, not cut-up whole tomatoes, which have too much water content.
