Broiled Feta with Garlicky Cherry Tomatoes & Capers

By duckieq

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 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 (but keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly.)
