Feta with Oregano and Olive Oil

A recipe for Greek Feta with Oregano and Olive Oil! Simply sprinkle dried oregano over slices of feta and drizzle with olive oil over for a quick and easy appetizer.

I first came across the idea for this Feta with Oregano and Olive Oil over on Lemon and Olives. It is such a delicious and easy use for feta.

I planned to serve the cheese the day after Christmas when my aunt and grandmother were visiting for the holidays. I am so glad I decided to go simple.

Five minutes after they arrived, our power went out- and stayed out for a couple of hours. Don’t need electricity to make this appetizer!

Just take 1/2-1 inch (1.25-2.5 centimeter) thick slices of feta cheese and top with them with a little dried oregano and drizzle of olive oil before serving.

A Few Tips

With only three ingredients, the quality of the ingredients will make the most out of this easy meze (appetizer).

If possible, use a good quality block of Greek feta (φέτα) soaked in brine and made with sheep’s milk (with maybe a little goat milk). I have been able to find it in the specialty cheese section of larger American grocery stores or markets with Eastern European/Mediterranean ingredients.

Try to use Greek olive oil as well.

As you sprinkle the dried oregano, crumble it between your fingers to help release the flavor.

This Feta with Oregano and Olive is wonderful on its own as a starter. I often serve it crumbled over toast with tomato slices or as an accompaniment to salads.

It is also the perfect addition to cheese boards or alongside olives, pita, and/or lemon slices.
