Active Time

10 Minutes

Servings

Ingredients

1 chunk (8 ounces) Odyssey® Traditional Feta cheese
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fig preserves or blackberry jam
Assorted crackers or toasted breads

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Feta can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F.
Place feta into an ungreased 8-inch ovenproof or cast-iron skillet; drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with thyme. Bake for 8 minutes. (Pan will be hot!)
Top feta with fig preserves; baste with warmed honey from bottom of pan. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until top begins to lightly brown. Serve with crackers.

Recipe Tip

Fig preserves are located in the specialty cheese area within some grocery stores.

Cheesemonger Tip

Mix and match feta with olives, veggies, cured meats and fruit on a cheese board or in a big salad. Sweet honey and preserves balance the saltiness of the cheese in this appetizer; pair it with chilled Champagne or rosé and let the party begin.
