Cherry Tomato Confit with Creamy Whipped Feta

Ingredients

  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • 2+ dried chili peppers
  • 1 head of garlic
  • Salt
  • Several sprigs of thyme (or any herb you like—I used chives here because I was out of thyme)
  • 1 block of feta cheese
  • Greek yogurt (roughly the same amount as the feta)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • Fresh dill, parsley, and chives (a handful each)

Instructions

  • For the Tomato Confit: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. In a deep, oven-safe dish, arrange cherry tomatoes to cover the bottom. Add a head of garlic (cut crosswise), herbs, dried chili peppers, and a sprinkle of salt. Pour olive oil to mostly cover the tomatoes and bake for about 1.5 hours. Allow to cool.
  • For the Whipped Feta: In a food processor, blend the feta, Greek yogurt, honey, dill, parsley, chives, and a big pinch of salt until fluffy. Refrigerate until chilled.
  • To serve, spread whipped feta on a plate, top with tomato confit and some of the oil. Serve with bread or as a dip.
