Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 cloves garlic -peeled
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 6 pitted kalamata olives
- 1 ounce crumbled feta cheese
- ⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Place the peeled garlic cloves in a small oven safe baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the garlic.
- Roast for 30 minutes, until the garlic is soft and tender when pierced with a knife.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Add the olives, feta, and dried rosemary.
- Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, until the feta is warmed through.
- Enjoy with bread, homemade tortilla chips, or pita.
Notes
- Use Pitted Kalamata Olives: Pitted olives save prep time and make the dish easier to eat. Kalamata olives add the best briny, Mediterranean flavor.
- Choose Block Feta for Best Texture: A small block of feta holds its shape better when baked. Crumbled feta works, but it will soften more quickly.
- Use a Small Baking Dish: A small oven safe dish keeps the olive oil pooled around the garlic and feta, helping everything roast evenly.
- Check Garlic for Doneness: The garlic should be soft and easily pierced with a knife after roasting. If it is still firm, bake a few minutes longer.
- Add Sun Dried Tomatoes for More Flavor: Stir in a few chopped sun dried tomatoes before the second bake for extra depth and color.
