Baked Feta
Why I Love This Recipe
From the Sauce du Jour Kitchen
For the Flavors of the Mediterranean Cooking Class - 111
This is my crack! I saw a picture of Baked Feta in a magazine and ran straight to the kitchen. I don't even know what the magazine recipe called for, but I had some amazing Valbreso Feta in my refrigerator so I wasted no time in making my own. I now whip this up constantly, and sometimes I just smear all the ingredients on a piece of sourdough toast and eat it that way.
Use Valbreso Feta; I swear it's the BEST (packed in water, not the dry one) or another great quality French or Greek Feta, or don't even bother because it just won't be the same.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup wine-for the cook
1 large chunk best quality Feta (Valbreso brand, if you can find it)

Thinly sliced garlic

Pinch of Crushed red pepper flakes
Generous drizzle of Olive oil
A few turns of freshly ground black pepper
Fresh oregano, chopped
