Transport your taste buds to the tavernas of the Greek Islands with classic Baked Feta and Tomatoes! A simple rustic recipe, we’ve packed this dish with juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes and herbs for a Mediterranean flavour. We’ve used salty reduced fat feta cheese to help reduce the calories and balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

As an added bonus, it looks fantastic on the plate because it’s so bright and colourful!

Fresh and nutritious Baked Feta and Tomatoes can be served as a starter alongside a wholemeal roll to mop up any leftover tomatoey juices, or for 4 people or as part of a more traditional mezze style meal where a selection of small plates are served.

NEW TIP
Batch cook
I froze some of the mince and had it with a jacket potato and cheese… heavenly 😍
1
Easy midweek meal with minimum effort and maximum flavour!
I have cooked this many times as it’s a quick flavoursome dinner. I’ve used dried herbs as well as fresh and would say fresh is far better. I’ve also used low fat salad cheese instead of feta and works equally as well.

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

    Hi Gareth, thanks so much for sharing your great idea, it sounds good! We’re so pleased you enjoy this recipe.

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

I’ve just made this for 2 people, 200g of cheese is a lot for 2 people, is this correct?

Reply

    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!

Reply

    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.
