I met with a friend, Jess, for a date night last week; and yes, you can have a date with your bestie. We had not spent time together just the two of us in a while and really needed that community. When she asked if we could hang out, my first response was, “Can I bring bread?” Jess is my friend that loves food as much as me. We are always sharing recipes and talking about things we want to try. Anytime I make something new, I gotta give some to Jess to get her feedback. So food is always involved when we get together. I’ve been making lots of breads lately and recently saw a recipe for whipped feta that I knew would go great with a baguette. So I made baguettes, whipped some feta, and roasted some tomatoes, and we enjoyed a fancy charcuterie board with wine outside on her balcony and talked for hours. And both the conversation and the food were good for the soul.
Whipped Feta:
Feta block
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper
1 drop Lemon oil
fresh rosemary - for garnish
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and whip until combined.
Roasted cherry tomatoes:
1 pint cheery tomatoes
drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary
Preheat oven to 400. Combine all ingredients in a small oven safe dish, where the tomatoes are just barely in one layer. Roast for about 25 minutes, until bubbly and soft.
