Steps:
- Combine cumin, coriander, and crushed red pepper in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Shake skillet gently until spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to bowl.

Bring olive and cheese mixture to room temperature before serving.
- Transfer mixture to bowl and place on platter. Surround with baguette slices.
Tips:
- Choose the right feta cheese: Use a high-quality feta cheese that is firm and crumbly. Avoid using a soft or spreadable feta, as it will not hold up well in the marinade.
- Use a variety of olives and capers: Choose olives and capers that have different flavors and textures. This will add depth and complexity to the marinade.
- Make sure the marinade covers the feta cheese completely: This will ensure that the cheese is evenly flavored.
- Let the feta cheese marinate for at least 24 hours: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the cheese.
- Serve the marinated feta cheese with crackers, bread, or vegetables: This will make a delicious appetizer or snack.
Conclusion:
Marinated feta cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a simple appetizer or a flavorful addition to your next meal, marinated feta cheese is a great option.
