Frequently asked questions
Yes. It is perfectly fine to heat feta cheese. It holds its shape and heating feta cheese will actually enhance its flavor and texture. Feta cheese has a lower melting point when compared to other cheeses so you do not have to worry about a gooey mess.
Once placed in a sealed container, baked feta can he stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Yes. You can freeze your leftover feta dip if you like. It actually freezes well and all you need to do is remove it from the freezer the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight to thaw.
I have used Boursin Cheese in place of feta cheese for this recipe, and it works great.

Did this recipe with kalamata olives . It was too salty. Recommend to use less salt and wash the olives. Very nice dish.
