Baked feta with lemon, thyme & Manuka honey
02 Aug 2022
Cheese and honey is a wonderful thing!
Garnished with peppy lemon thyme, this baked feta with manuka honey makes a showstopping vegetarian dish.
Feta is usually crumbly, but it turns creamy and silky in the oven. Made from sheep’s or goat’s milk, it’s a lower-fat alternative to most other cheeses.
We recommend serving with salad and plenty of crusty wholegrain bread to dunk.
