A delicious holiday appetizer that comes together in only 5 minutes? Sign me up! This 5-Minute Marinated Feta is a simple and delicious way to enjoy feta cheese with pita chips, crackers, as part of a charcuterie board, or even on a salad! Simply add your feta, along with a few key ingredients, to a large jar and you'll have the perfect marinated feta ready in minutes!
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.
