TikTok Baked Feta Dip with Cherry Tomatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Add the cherry tomatoes to a medium baking dish. Stir in the olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, chili flakes, and black pepper until the tomatoes are evenly coated. Place the block of feta in the center of the baking dish and drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft and lightly golden around the edges. For extra color, switch the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Remove the baking dish from the oven. Add the chopped basil and optional lemon zest. Use a fork or spoon to mash the softened feta together with the roasted tomatoes until everything becomes creamy and well combined.

Serve the dip immediately while warm with toasted baguette slices, pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Garnish with extra basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and an additional pinch of chili flakes if desired.
