Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 pint (300 grams) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml) for roasting
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or oregano sprigs (optional)
  • About 8 slices sourdough bread, sliced and toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them cut side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme sprigs (if using) over the tomatoes. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons honey. Gently toss to coat evenly, keeping tomatoes cut side up.
  4. Roast the tomatoes for 20 minutes until caramelized and soft but still holding shape. Drizzle more olive oil halfway if they look dry.
  5. While tomatoes roast, combine crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a food processor.
  6. Pulse until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
  7. Season with freshly cracked black pepper and adjust lemon juice or olive oil to taste.
  8. Toast sourdough slices in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  9. Spread a generous layer of whipped feta dip on each toasted slice. Top with warm honey roasted cherry tomatoes and drizzle with pan juices.
  10. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves or extra honey drizzle if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not skip whipping the feta for a silky texture. Roast tomatoes cut side up to keep juicy. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Toast sourdough well to prevent sogginess. Tomatoes can be roasted ahead and reheated gently. For vegan version, substitute plant-based feta and coconut yogurt, and use maple syrup instead of honey.
