BROILED FETA WITH GARLICKY CHERRY TOMATOES AND CAPERS

Broiled feta with burst cherry tomatoes and capers makes a particularly addictive and flavorful unfold. best for summer time!

During the last few weeks, temperatures in DC had been climbing over ninety levels, and commencing the lower back door appears like taking walks right into a complete-on steam room. Even the thought of heating up the kitchen is unbearable so I’ve been making masses of salads and appetizers for dinner. 

That is one of my new favorites: burst cherry tomatoes, capers, and a flash under the broiler transform an ordinary block of feta into a highly addictive and flavorful spread. 

It’s supposed to serve four as a starter, but with a crusty baguette and a bottle of chilled rose, I suppose it’s the best summer supper for two.
