Santorini
Warm Feta with Honey
Baked feta with thyme honey and sesame.
Baked feta with Santorini honey, capers, and chili. The meze that every Cycladic island claims — and Santorini does best.
Ingredients
🧀 DAIRY
— 200g block feta cheese
🍯 TOPPING
— 2 tbsp Santorini or thyme honey
— 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
— ½ tsp chili flakes
— Fresh oregano or dried
🫙 PANTRY
— 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Prep
🔥 OVEN
— Preheat oven to 400°F.
— Place feta block in a small oven-safe dish.
Method
STEP 1 — TOP THE FETA
— Drizzle olive oil over the feta.
— Scatter capers.
— Sprinkle chili flakes.
— Crumble oregano over the top.
STEP 2 — BAKE
— Bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes.
— You're looking for:
— Feta softened and creamy
— Edges starting to turn golden
— Capers slightly crisped
STEP 3 — FINISH
— Remove from oven.
— Drizzle honey over immediately.
— Serve in the dish with bread.
👉 The honey goes on after baking — it shouldn't cook.
Chef's Note: Honey goes on after the oven, not before. Baked honey caramelizes too aggressively and can turn bitter.
