I had grilled feta for the first time at a tiny Greek BYOB in Philadelphia. I still consider it to be one of the best kept secrets in the city, and I’ve been a loyal patron for 20 years. My version of Grilled Feta with Tomatoes and Peppers takes me back there every time!
And don’t worry if it isn’t grilling season. You can duplicate the experience right in the oven.
Can you heat up feta cheese?
Does grilled or baked feta melt?
Once you’ve had grilled feta cheese, it’s hard to go back!
The Toppings for Grilled Greek Feta
- Tomatoes: Use whatever kind you can get your hands on. Right now, I have loads of big, green tomatoes in my garden that I’m (im)patiently waiting for to ripen. The cherry tomatoes, on the other hand, are out of control. So I cut them into halves and pile them on top of the feta cheese before I put it on the grill.
- Banana peppers: They aren’t spicy in the least. They add a really nice tang and complement the salty cheese perfectly.
- Fresh oregano: I grab handfuls of it out of my herb box whenever I’m making Greek or Italian dishes. Fresh oregano leaves are velvety soft and really aromatic. They add a beautiful, indulgent flavor to whatever you’re cooking.
