Marinate the cheese:
Cut the feta cheese (or your choice) into cubes or leave it in blocks if you prefer. Place the cheese in a small jar or airtight container.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the cheese, making sure it’s covered completely. Add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil for extra flavor.
Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, so the flavors can meld.
Assemble the cheese plate:
Arrange the marinated cheese on a serving platter.
Add a selection of your other cheeses—slice or leave whole depending on the type.
Add fresh fruits like grapes, apple slices, or berries, and fill in the gaps with nuts and crackers or bread.
For a sweet contrast, drizzle a bit of honey over the cheese or include a small dish of jam (fig, apricot, or raspberry work wonderfully).
Serve: Enjoy the marinated cheese with a variety of flavors and textures. This makes an impressive appetizer or grazing platter for parties, gatherings, or just a cozy night in!
Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful marinated cheese plate! It’s always a hit with guests and
