Baked Feta with Tomato and Peppers

Baked Feta with Tomato and Peppers – When feta cheese is baked in the oven it becomes soft, oozy and creamy. Paired with a roasted tomato sauce flavoured with garlic, peppers and olives this dish reminds me of warm Mediterranean evenings. I also added honey which gives a sweetness to the dish. I was kindly gifted Wild Flower Honey from Whole Foods Online and it is the perfect honey for this dish as it has a lovely fragrance and is not overly sweet. My Baked Feta recipe would work well for a platter of party food, as a starter for four or a main for two. Serve by spreading the Baked Feta on warm crusty bread and top with the Tomato, Pepper and Olive sauce.
