Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Gently place the feta cubes into a clean glass jar. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Tuck the bruised chile pepper amongst the feta. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and lemon zest, ensuring even distribution. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Slowly pour the olive oil over the feta, making sure all the cubes are fully submerged. Add more oil if needed to completely cover the cheese. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and not in the refrigerator, for 3 to 4 days to allow the flavors to meld. (3-4 days)

05

Step

Remove the chile pepper before serving to prevent excessive heat. Serve the marinated feta with crusty bread, crackers, or as part of an antipasto platter. (5 minutes)

For a milder flavor, use a larger chile pepper and remove it after only 1 day of marinating.
Consider adding other aromatics like a bay leaf, a sprig of rosemary, or a few black peppercorns for added complexity.
Ensure the feta is completely submerged in olive oil to prevent spoilage.
The marinated feta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks after marinating. The olive oil may solidify in the fridge but will return to its liquid state at room temperature. Be sure the feta remains covered in oil.

    This recipe is so easy and the results are amazing! I used a jalapeño instead of a bird's eye chile for a little less heat.
