Ingredients

1 Block Feta Cheese in brine; I recommend using a block of Greek feta cheese!
2 Lemons one cut into slices, and the other cut in half to squeeze over the top of the Marinated Feta
4 Green Onions sliced thin
3 Garlic Cloves mashed
4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
¾ Cup - 1 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by chopping your feta into equal-sized cubes. Toss the cubes into a large mason jar.
Next, chop your green onions and garlic cloves, and add them to the jar along with slices of fresh lemon, sprigs of thyme, and red pepper flakes.
Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon on top of the feta mixture.
Then, finally, fill the jar to the top with olive oil and top off with a few cracks of black pepper.
Once done, place the lid on the jar and place it in the fridge to marinate overnight.
Then, remove it from the fridge, serve with crackers, pita chips, or your recipe of choice, and enjoy!
Store any leftovers back in the fridge for up to one week.
