Add a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes and lay the 6 sprigs of fresh thyme across the top of the feta.
4. Bake
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes.
5. Broil
Switch the oven to broil and broil the feta until the top darkens and develops a slight char.
6. Finish and Serve
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt, and serve immediately with crisp flatbread crackers.
Opt for a high-quality Greek feta made from sheep’s milk or a combination of sheep’s and goat’s milk for a creamier and more flavorful result.
Opt for a high-quality Greek feta made from sheep’s milk or a combination of sheep’s and goat’s milk. It tends to be creamier and more flavorful than its cow’s milk counterparts, resulting in a more luscious texture after baking.
Bake just until the edges bubble and the feta is heated through but still holds its shape to avoid it becoming too runny or dry.
Fresh sprigs are essential for releasing natural oils during baking, offering a nuanced aroma that dried thyme cannot replicate.
