Ingredients
100g sheep (or goat) feta

2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

How to prepare baked feta with spinach
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Add the crushed garlic and saute for 30 seconds, just until fragrant, without browning.
- Add the spinach and saute quickly, just until it "wilts". Sprinkle with salt. Turn off the heat and add the butter. Stir until melted. Grate the lemon zest over it.
- Place about 1/3 of the spinach on the bottom of a heat-resistant dish about X cm diameter, along with the juice left in the pan.
- Crumble the feta on top in an even layer.
- Arrange the rest of the spinach over the cheese, leaving spots where the cheese is visible. Place a few cherry tomatoes cut in half among the spinach. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of oil over everything.
- Bake at 200C for 15 minutes. Serve warm with toasted bread with oregano.
