Rosemary Feta Spread


I almost feel silly sharing this recipe with y’all because it’s so easy. But, sometimes that’s what life needs right? An easy day, an easy project and sometimes, even an easy recipe. We were supposed to grab an appetizer to take to a friends for dinner the other night and I remember this as something I had had at a friend’s awhile ago. A few ingredients later, I was chopping fresh feta. 

Here is what you need:
  • Bread or crackers. I used a wheat Baguette. 
  • Rosemary
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
  • one block of feta, or pre-crumbled package of feta
  • Pepper
Directions:
  1. Cut bread into thin slices using bread knife. Layout on baking sheet and toast at 350 degree for 10 minutes or until golden brown. 
  2. Cut feta into chunks or strips. I used a block because I find that this form is more moist, however, if you’re short on time, pre-crumbled would be quicker. 
  3. Chop rosemary leaves (I used about 2 tbls)
  4. Place chopped feta, rosemary, pepper to taste and juice from one lemon and drizzle of EVOO into bowl. Stir until blended. 
  5. Serve with warm bread. 
It was a hit, we ate it all and everyone was amazed how simple yet delicious it was!


Anything with cheese is a win in my book, and I am wondering how this would pair with goat cheese next time? Thoughts?
Do you have any five minute appetizers? I’d love to hear them!
