Feta With Stuff On It: Easiest Appetizer Ever
My mom taught me this trick to transform a boring ol' block of feta into a somewhat shmancy-seeming appetizer in like 10 seconds.
All you do is take a block of brined feta out of the brine. Put it on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle it with chopped herbs (oregano or mint are my two favorites.) If you are like me and have weird colors of special salt around, like the black flakes you see in the picture, then go ahead and sprinkle some of that on. If you don't then just fuggedaboutit. The herbs and oil are the important part.
Serve it with a baguette or crackers, or make some pita chips for a real treat. And don't say I never did anything for you!

You can do this technique with many different soft cheeses. Your feta looks yummy, as a Greek gal it's a staple in my kitchen. My favorite part? Your fancy name for the dish: "Feta with Stuff on It"
