This marinated feta recipe can be eaten as an appetizer, or can be strained and placed on your favorite salad. Accompany with crusty bread for a delicious and savory treat.
Layer the feta, garlic, lemon zest, herbs, and pepper flakes in a medium sealable container. Cover with olive oil. Seal the container and refrigerate for 3 to 7 days. Let sit at room temperature until the olive oil is liquid. Serve with toothpicks and crusty bread for dipping in oil as an appetizer or crumble over salad (strain the oil to use in a salad dressing). Will keep up for another week in the refrigerator.

This looks like a favorite of a friend, but how much EVOO? 2 Tblsp,? 2 cups? 2 bottles??? I’m anxious to try this.
Hi Bette, Thanks for asking. I like to use enough olive oil to cover the block of feta completely. So it will depend on how large your block of feta is. I would budget for 1/4 – 1/2 cup of olive oil. Give it a try and let us know how it goes. And thanks for writing – we appreciate your comments!
