Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Place the 8 ounces feta cheese block in the center of a medium-sized baking dish.
• Scatter the 1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes around the feta, then arrange the 2 cups cherry tomatoes around and slightly on top of the sundried tomatoes.
• Drizzle the 1/4 cup olive oil evenly over the feta and tomatoes.
• Gently toss or stir the cherry and sundried tomatoes (not the feta) so the tomatoes are coated with the olive oil and distributed evenly around the feta.
• Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend over the feta and tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the feta is softened and the cherry tomatoes begin to blister.
• Switch the oven to broil and broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until the top of the feta or tomatoes are lightly browned or charred to your liking.
• Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and let sit a minute before serving.
