• 1 ½ lbs cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced

• 1 cup olive oilKosher salt
• 12 oz crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup water
• 1 loaf crusty bread, sliced ½”
• Thyme + oregano leaves, to garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 375F°. Add the cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic, and fresh herbs to a 12″ cast-iron skillet. Cover with the olive oil, season with a pinch of salt, and stir to combine.

2. In a food processor, combine the feta, olive oil, and water. Blend for a few minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
    
3. Spoon the whipped feta into a bowl. Add the roasted tomatoes over top, along with a generous drizzle of the oil from the skillet. Top the tomatoes with a few oregano leaves, flaky sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
