Honey Roasted Feta

Mix and match feta with olives, veggies, cured meats and fruit on a cheeseboard 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.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) block 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
  

* Any brand of Wisconsin feta cheese can be used.

Instructions

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