    serves 4

Ingredients

  • 12 lb. firm feta
  • 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Red pepper flakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Cut feta into 4 slices about 3'' x 4'' and 1⁄2'' thick. Place each slice on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tsp. of the olive oil, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Wrap foil around cheese, closing it and folding it over to seal.
