Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves (20g) garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 tsp (2g) dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • 8 oz (225g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) honey
  • 2 tbsp (30g) fresh basil leaves

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss cherry tomatoes, smashed garlic, 3 tbsp olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Roast for 25–30 minutes until the tomato skins are bursting and the garlic is fragrant and golden brown.
  4. Place the room-temperature crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and honey into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  5. Pulse initially to break up the cheese, then blend on high for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and holds a soft peak.
  6. Spoon the whipped feta into a shallow bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a swirling well in the center.
  7. Pour the roasted cherry tomatoes and all the pan juices directly into the well.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
