Ingredients

  • 8-10 oz feta
  • 6-7 sprigs fresh thyme left on the stem
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 4-5 Calabrian chilies sliced
  • 1 lemon 1/2 sliced, the other half juiced
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut the feta in desired shape and size. My recommendation is to cube it.
  • Place the cut feta in the cleaned jar, layering in the thyme, lemon slices, cilantro, and sliced chilies as you go to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  • Squeeze the second half of the lemon over the jar and pour in the olive oil until the feta is completely submerged. Seal the jar and place in the fridge.
  • This feta can be enjoyed as soon as 20 minutes, but it is best to wait a few hours for the flavors to develop.
