Oh yeah!!! 😍 You guys, I have been obsessed with this dish, and have made it so many times in the last month. I can't wait to hear what you think of it! PS - I want to add more nibbly appetizer recipes (I'm on an entertaining kick in my new condo, even though I still don't have proper furniture yet, haha)... so give me some more ideas! xo - Lisa
This has been my go-to appetizer for the past couple of years....DELICIOUS, and simple. I also make mine with both black and green olives as well as sometimes with regular halved cherry tomatos instead of sundried tomatos, or sometimes with both. Either way still delicious. I serve it up on rustic Italian bread slices, or pita bread.
Made your mouth-watering treat but ONE SERVING only for me - used everything you recommend plus anchovies (my Sicilian heritage, ahem), splash of red wine vinegar, heated gently on lower power in microwave oven - perfect with crispy pita and bruschetta, lovely, thank you!
This sounds amazing! I never liked olives either until about 6 months ago. I’d pick them out of everything. I’m not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I’m obsessed with Kalamata olives. I’ll have to try the green ones you recommended.😊
For a change, I didn't come here for the recipe (as I'm dairy free) but to check out your new kitchen ☺ Congrats on the move, it looks beautiful and really spacious! I really liked your "what I eat in a day" video from a couple of years ago and was wondering if you'd be open to giving us an update on that? I for one would be really interested! 🥑
Looks sooo good. I thought I can’t make this one because feta is already too aged and has too much tyramine, as I can’t eat it. But now I learned that you can bake also cottage cheese, so I will try it with cottage cheese. The tomato unfortunately is also a big NO for me, but I loooove olives, so it will work anyway 😉🥰
Thank you!! Definitely going to try this. I love quick and easy appetizers served with baguettes and a charcuterie board. Caponata is a summer favorite here if you like eggplant, and it stores well in the fridge. I also keep a supply of marinated artichokes/Kalamata olives/sundried tomatoes/capers in my pantry and can whip up a quick meal with either bow tie pasta served as a cold salad or warm dinner using the marinate as a dressing, or also good on white beans or garbanzo beans or butter beans if you need a vegetarian dish. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful UA-cam recipes. Love your book too!
To anyone thinking about making this recipe, or if you’re on the fence - MAKE THIS! It is one of the most flavorful recipes I have ever tried. I cannot believe how good this is. As it was baking, my husband said it smelled like pizza. As it was just the 2 of us, we did not eat it in one sitting, but it was gone in 24 hours. Do your taste buds a favor, and try this recipe. Thank you, Lisa!
I recently came across a fantastic cookbook that I think you'd love! It's called "Mediterranean Mastery: A Culinary Journey Through Timeless Flavors" by Cara J. Bacon. It's packed with 100 delicious recipes that not only taste amazing but also promote health and well-being. I've been trying out some of the recipes, and they've been a hit! You can find it on Amazon if you're interested in exploring Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy!
@@DownshiftologyI thought you added red pepper flakes…I should have specified flakes. I love sun-dried tomatoes, one of my favorite things especially in your Tuscan chicken.
Looks delicious, I will start making it now that I know how ot prepare it. I have friends over every other week to play board games and card games. Thank you for sharing it.😀
I know this is not an appetizer request. But you posted a photo of a Red Wine Chicken dish that you had in France. Would you be able to try and replicate? I've never had it, but it looked divine. Thanks again.
The only good ones are Morroccan blk.olives -'brined' in olive oil -soaked or dry. But used in a dish -sparingly or in haves reflects deep earthy tones. Normal canned blk olives seem not very palatable -due to the canning process or the additives added. If one loves them and consumes quite a bit of em in one sitting can empty a room of people after awhile similar to after eating pork n' beans.
I am just fed up with you, every recipe is a winner and I cant stop eating lol !!! For a change its sunny in England and friends are on the way I think this starter will keep them quiet whilst England attempt to win their Euro group. Thanks Ax

Oh my goodness! I just put this together olive mix to take camping ⛺️ delicious -can’t wait!
Finally! …a baked feta without cherry tomatoes. I’m so glad you used sun dried tomatoes instead. Love this recipe!
It will look great at Christmas! Red and green colors.
Absolutely! This will surely shine at any holiday party.
Oh, this looks delicious! You new kitchen is lovely as well. Thanks for this, and all of your fantastic recipes!

Ohhhh, anchovies would be perfect. Of course, I’m the only one in my family who will eat this. Hmmm, perfect.
Vous êtes fantastique madame ! Quelle bonne idée. Je ferai votre recette à mon prochain mezze.
Un gros MERCI...
oh, that looks delicious. Will have to make it with my Sheep cheese in the fridge. This would also work with Ricotta. Thank you so much for sharing.
Let me know how it turns out! 🥰
I loveee olives! Cant wait to make it
If you love olives, this is a must-make appetizer! Enjoy 🙂
I have done it today and added a squeeze of lemon juice and lemon zest to it for an additional kick! It ist delicious!
So easy to make and so tasty! Thank you very much for this video, we all loved it!

WOW ALL MY FAVE THINGS! ❤ YOUR RECIPES I'VE MADE MANY.

A whole mezze table full of goodness!!!
My grocerielist just wrote itself! Great idea for this hot weather :)
Hope you love this one!
Just made this today
Amazing!!!
Followed exactly this is so easy and the end result is very worth it!!

I tried it last weekend and as you predicted it was gone fast! Thanks for such great ideas and the easy way you put them together ❤
Our favorite Greek restaurant closed recently. They served a similar appetizer with warm pita triangles. I can't wait to make yours!
Perfect timing! I hope this appetizer gives you a taste of your favorite Greek restaurant.
We fixed it tonight. Delicious, but Lisa’s recipes always taste great.
I just made this last night when asked to bring an appetizer, it was a hit.
Wow Lisa, this looks like another winner! Can't wait to try it!
Can't wait for you to try this appetizer 🥰
This is amazing. I added marinated artichoke hearts! 🥰 yummy!
I'm definitely trying this one ❤
Woohoo! Hope you love it ❤
Tiene la pinta más deliciosa para un entrante que he visto en toda mi vida.

I am on the fence as i can only it Feta in small doses (not my fav) so....thanks for saying this, your comment will make me try it.
Hi Lisa, this recipe has everything I like!! What a great idea to serve this dish as an appetiser, I can see how it would impress guests. Thank you ❤
Can't wait for you to make this!
I've been looking for a new appetizer to try, and this Mediterranean baked feta looks perfect. Thank you! 😋
I'll definitely use Kalamata olives. My favorite. This looks so yummy.
Mouth is watering looking at this dish!
It's SO good! Hope you love it.
Sounds fabulous! I ❤ 🫒‼️
Hope you love it! It really is such a delicious appetizer 🥰
You could add some toasted walnuts on the top for crunch. It'd taste amazing as well.
Sounds great!
Looks delicious, can’t wait to make.
This looks incredible! I will definitely be trying this!
Omg, what a great recipe! Thank you
Hope you love this as much as I do! 🙂
I will be making this - it is perfect

As a kid, I would put a black olive on each of my fingers and nom nom nom nom! 😂

I did this too!😂 I have always loved to eat olives🫒
Made this, it was SO good. Thanks
Holy Moly this one I am making for sure ! Thanks Lisa
Nothing I don’t love (except the red pepper) in this recipe. Looking forward to trying it.
Those are actually sun-dried tomatoes!
@@DownshiftologyI thought you added red pepper flakes…I should have specified flakes. I love sun-dried tomatoes, one of my favorite things especially in your Tuscan chicken.
FANTASTIC, YOU SOLVED MY DILEMMA FOR PATIO DRINKS TOMORROW. HAVE ALL THE INGREIDIENTS TOO! BONUS
Haha! Perfect timing. You can find all beverages on my website here as well: downshiftology.com/courses/drinks-smoothies/
@@Downshiftology PERFECT EVEN BETTER
I’m thinking lemon zest before oven and a small squeeze of lemon juice afterwards would be great on this too. I’m definitely going to give it a try
Sure thing!
Yummy 😋, my mouth is watering. Thank you
You're going to love this! 🙂
So inspiring and beautiful as always!!
Looks delicious, I will start making it now that I know how ot prepare it. I have friends over every other week to play board games and card games. Thank you for sharing it.😀

Perfect, I’ll make this for Sunday with baguettes and soup
This looks AMAZING !❤❤❤ will definitely make!
Can't wait for you to try this!
BEST. Appetizer. Ever!!
I couldn't agree more!!
Definitely would serve this with pita bread or pita chips. Looks delicious!
Sounds great!! I wish I could eat pita chips haha!
I will try this recipe.
Hope you enjoy! 🥰
Excellent and easy !
I can’t wait to try this❤
Omg, I'm making this ASAP.
You're going to love it! Be sure to tag me when you do 🥰
For the Brit viewers the olives are called Nocellara in the UK.
sounds amazing!
All of my favorite ingredients!
The mini bell peppers would be good too 😋
Good call! 🥰
I know this is not an appetizer request. But you posted a photo of a Red Wine Chicken dish that you had in France. Would you be able to try and replicate? I've never had it, but it looked divine. Thanks again.
Good memory! I will keep that in mind for a future recipe :)
I want to try this with olives stuffed with Garlic.
That would be an excellent touch!
This looks really good. If I were to make this to carry to a party would it be OK to reheat in a microwave once getting there?
I love green olives and pineapple on pizza , not a fan of black olives , but I would definitely make this appetizer!
If you love green olives, this is a must! 🙂

Thank you Lisa... I have a question, have you used fresh herbs instead of dried?
I haven't tried this with fresh herbs, but you could try!
@@Downshiftology Will do and let you know how it turns out!
Yummy!
You're going to love this new appetizer!
@@Downshiftology already loving it and can imagine put in blender and use it as sauce on a chicken breast. I'm so hungry now 😆
Adding to the list❤️🍽
Oh my gosh, this looks so good, it would be good stuffed into a chicken breast or even a burger!
Oh, great idea!! 🥰
Omg. Yes.
So excited for this appetizer! Hope you love it as much as I do.
Uh... this looks DELICIOUS!
Thank you.
Love this but it’s too hot to turn on the oven where I live 🥲 can this be made on the stove?
Marinated red bells would work as a tomato substitute.
Absolutely!
Yummy. Thank you
😮 YUM
My olive story is the same :)
I am just fed up with you, every recipe is a winner and I cant stop eating lol !!! For a change its sunny in England and friends are on the way I think this starter will keep them quiet whilst England attempt to win their Euro group. Thanks Ax
I'm not a fan of sun dried tomatoes. Would pieces of grape or cherry tomatoes work as a substitue?
Good idea! I bet they’d be delicious slow roasted and then added in. Sun dried tomatoes aren’t my favorite either.
Yes, you can use either!
I don’t like sundried tomatoes, what do you recommend instead.
Yum.😋🇬🇧
This recipe can be for dinner or is a snack ?
It's an appetizer, as mentioned in the title :)
Daaaamn 👍
🌸🌸🌸YUMBA MUMBA!!🌸🌸🌸
❤ from sri lanka
Looks yummy but we don’t like feta or goat cheese. Any other cheese suggestions?
Wondering if you could add a pasta to this? 🤔
❤❤❤
❤
Would this be good without olives? My husband hates olives
You'll probably need to substitute the olives with another ingredient such as roasted red bell peppers or more sundried tomatoes!
So delicious, sorry didn't take a photo. Demolished
Glad you loved it!
😋😋😋😋😋
I tried this last night and the feta was very rubbery--not spreadable at all. Suggestions?
😘😍😘😘I love you 😘
I cant do olives 🤢im not sure what to substitute those with 🤷🏻♀️
My block of feta didn’t get as soft and creamy (as spreadable) as yours when I baked it. Did I do anything wrong?
But the recipe tasted fantastic!
❤🤍💙 all your video's mam👍
Baguette
I don't like feta what other cheese can you use .
You can also use goat cheese.
Has anyone made this in a small crock pot?
