Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). In a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet, place the block of feta in the center.

Scatter cherry tomatoes and sliced garlic around the feta. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the cheese and tomatoes.

Sprinkle dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and a few grinds of black pepper over the top.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the feta is soft and slightly puffed and the tomatoes begin to burst.

Remove from oven and gently mix the feta, tomatoes, and juices—mashing the tomatoes slightly to create a spreadable mixture.

Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm straight from the dish, with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
