Punchline

Savor the creamy delight of warm feta paired with the buttery goodness of avocado – a dish that truly celebrates Greek flavors!

instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This will ensure your dish cooks evenly and nicely.

While the oven is warming up, take the feta cheese and place it in a small, oven-safe dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the feta, then sprinkle oregano and black pepper on top. This will help flavor the cheese beautifully as it melts.

Now, wrap your feta dish in aluminum foil to keep the moisture in during baking. This should take about 20 minutes in the oven.

While the feta is baking, slice your avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out some flesh to create a small well in each half. You can set the avocados aside for now.

After 20 minutes, carefully remove the feta from the oven and unwrap it (be cautious of the steam). The feta should be soft and slightly golden on top.

Using a spoon, gently pour the melted feta into the wells of the avocado halves, then drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice over the filled avocados.

You can return the stuffed avocados to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to warm everything through and allow the flavors to mingle.

Once done, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your warm Baked Feta Avocado delight!
