Baked Feta

This baked feta dip is simple, warm, and built around bold but familiar flavors. As the feta bakes, it softens and becomes creamy while the cherry tomatoes burst and release their sweetness. Everything comes together in one dish with very little effort. Fresh basil added at the end brings brightness and balance. It’s the kind of recipe that feels special without being complicated. Perfect for sharing, dipping, and slowing down around the table.
