Feta cheese appetizers are a delicious and easy way to impress guests at any dinner party. Made with only a few simple ingredients, this recipe for feta cheese is the perfect way to start any meal.
Grab a block of feta cheese from your fridge and grab some fresh parsley from your pantry. You’ll also need a lemon, garlic cloves (chopped), breadcrumbs, and an egg. Get started by tearing off chunks of the feta cheese and combining them with chopped parsley, chopped garlic cloves, breadcrumbs, and salt to taste in a bowl until well mixed.
Next, crack an egg and beat it up with a fork or a whisk to blend the yolk and white. Then, mix the egg-lemon mixture into the cheese to create a uniform blend of the three ingredients.
With your hands, roll the cheese mixture into small balls and place them on parchment paper. Now you can sprinkle them with additional sea salt, paprika, or fresh ground black pepper before putting them in an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Before serving, grab some red bell peppers and let them roast in the oven while the feta cheese is cooking. This can be as easy as placing them haphazardly next to your baking dish until they are roasting, or you can place them on a baking sheet and bake them separately. Once they are roasted, take them out of the oven, add some extra feta cheese (or more), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
For a spicier appetizer, try substituting some of your favorite spices for parsley, salt, and pepper. You will be amazed at how much it helps the flavor of feta cheese. Even better, try making your favorite recipes with your new feta cheese appetizers.
Remember, this feta cheese is best when enjoyed fresh and not aged for more than two days. However, you can freeze it for up to six months if you would like to enjoy this at a later date. Just be sure to label and date the frozen blocks before storing them in the freezer.
