Broiled Feta with Garlicky Cherry Tomatoes & Capers
This is one of my new favorites: burst cherry tomatoes, capers, and a flash under the broiler transform an ordinary block of feta into a surprisingly addictive and flavorful spread. It’s meant to serve four as a starter, but with a crusty baguette and a bottle of chilled rosé, I think it’s the perfect summer supper for two.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 10.5 ounces cherry tomatoes, preferably different colors, halved
- Scant 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Pinch sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons capers, drained

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack in the top position. Place the feta in a small (1.5-quart) baking dish and set aside.
Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers.
Scatter the tomatoes around the feta and broil until the feta is softened and browned on top, about 4 minutes. Keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly.
