I love making this. If you add king prawns you have a great Prawn Saganaki. You could also try a 2 tbsp of Ouzo for a great aniseed flavour but remember that it will add to the calories
SharonTuesday 28th September 2021
Hi Gareth, thanks so much for sharing your great idea, it sounds good! We’re so pleased you enjoy this recipe.
Gareth WoodSaturday 24th April 2021
I made this but only used half the amount of Feta and added king prawns about 5 mins into the cook.
It tasted like I was back at the beach side restaurant in Crete where I first tasted prawn saganaki.
Thank you P.O.N. X
HollyTuesday 27th April 2021
Hi Gareth, thanks so much for your message we are so glad to hear you enjoyed the Baked Feta and Tomatoes and the addition of king prawns sounds delicious!

Hi Claire, thanks so much for your message, your swaps and tips sound great!
HannahWednesday 24th February 2021
I’ve just made this for 2 people, 200g of cheese is a lot for 2 people, is this correct?
HollyThursday 25th February 2021
Hey Hannah, yes that is correct if you would like less you can reduce the amount of Feta cheese used and alter the calories accordingly, hope that helps!
MelSunday 21st February 2021
Hi! Do the calories include the bread roll? Or is it just the feta and tomato? Thank you!
SharonMonday 22nd February 2021
Hi Mel, the calories stated are just for the Baked Feta and Tomatoes without the bread roll. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
BARBARA BAMFORDThursday 4th February 2021
I can only get low fat salad cheese, will this be ok, thank you.
HollyThursday 4th February 2021
Hi Barbara, yes the low fat salad cheese should work okay, hope that helps!
