ROAST CHERRY TOMATOES AND FETA
This is a very simple but tasty and light recipe I just put together because I had tons of cherry tomatoes in the kitchen, my mother and I had it for supper and thought it was worth sharing, hope you like it too! We had it on its own, but it could be served on a bed of greens, as a side dish for grilled meat or fish, or even used as a pasta sauce...just use your fantasy!

Steps:
- Roll out the pastry on a surface lightly dusted with the Parmesan to about the thickness of a ten-pence piece. Stamp out 12 rounds using a 6cm plain cutter and line a shallow 12-hole bun tin. Chill for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6.
- Prick each pastry base with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, tear the leaves from the parsley stalks and put all but 12 of the small sprigs in a food processor with the pine nuts, then whizz until coarsely chopped. Then add the feta, garlic and oil and whizz to make a thick paste. Keep the reserved sprigs in a bowl of water in the fridge. The pastry bases will keep in a tin for up to 2 days and the pesto will keep in the fridge overnight.
- To serve, dollop a spoonful of the feta pesto onto the tarts and top each one with two cherry tomato halves. Garnish with the reserved parsley sprigs. Arrange on a platter and hand round with a bowl of black olives and sparkling mint & lemon juleps.

ONE-PAN FETA PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES
In 2018, the Finnish blogger Jenni Hayrinen posted a recipe for baked feta pasta. The dish became a full-on TikTok sensation, popular to the point that supermarkets were selling out of feta. This version streamlines her recipe. Instead of cooking the pasta separately, it's added to the casserole dish with the baked feta and tomatoes, turning it into a cozy one-pan meal. (Also note that you'll need an electric kettle to boil the water. So maybe it's more like a one-and-a-half-pan meal.) Don't think of this as a pasta dish in an Italian, al-dente sense. It's more like a creamy casserole along the lines of mac and cheese. In any case, it's comforting and supremely easy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow 2-quart casserole or gratin dish, or an 11-by-7-inch baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with 1/4 cup of the olive oil to coat. Place the feta in the middle of the dish, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the black pepper and red-pepper flakes over everything. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the garlic has softened and the tomatoes have burst their skins.
- Add the pasta to the pan in an even layer and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, carefully submerge pasta. Cover tightly with foil and bake until pasta is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Remove from oven and let the pasta stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the excess liquid.
- Stir in basil until everything is well incorporated, and the tomatoes and cheese create a creamy sauce. When serving, top with more black pepper, oil and flaky sea salt.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful cherry tomatoes. This will ensure that your bites are bursting with flavor.
- Dry the cherry tomatoes thoroughly before using them. This will help to prevent the bites from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create different flavors. Feta cheese is a classic choice, but you could also use mozzarella, Parmesan, or cheddar cheese.
- Add some fresh herbs for extra flavor. Basil, oregano, and thyme are all great choices.
- Skewer the bites with toothpicks or mini skewers. This will make them easy to eat and serve.
- Serve the bites with a dipping sauce. A simple olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing is a great option.
Conclusion:
Cherry tomato and feta bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty snack that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give cherry tomato and feta bites a try!
