Marinated Feta Cheese

Recipe: A Simple, Creamy, And Versatile Appetiser

Feta cheese recipes range from salads to bakes, dips, and even pastas. But no other recipe serves an appetising snack as quickly as this marinated feta recipe! As the name suggests, the recipe includes feta cheese, marinated in a mix of spices and herbs. It can be consumed as is, served with crusty bread as a spread, or roasted with olives on a skewer. No matter how you consume, marinated feta remains a hit! As is the case with most feta cheese recipes, the first step is figuring out which type of cheese to use. Marinated feta recipe works with both Danish and Greek feta – the difference comes down to the texture you prefer and the way you’re planning to use the cheese. Danish feta is creamier and thus spreadable. It’s great with breads and crackers. Greek feta is more crumbly and harder, and better enjoyed as cubes. Marinated feta can be served as an appetiser by itself, as part of a charcuterie board, added to salads, or turned into a garnish. The marinated feta cheese recipe takes only 10 minutes, and you can serve it immediately, or marinate for at least 4 hours to overnight for deeper flavour absorption. You can also store marinated feta in the refrigerator, but serve it at room temperature to allow the olive oil to liquefy.
