Greek-inspired Baked Feta & Cauliflower

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe cherry tomatoes
  • 1/ 2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves pressed
  • 2 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil divided
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 6 oz block feta cheese
  • 1 large head cauliflower broken into bite-sized florets
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella
  • 2 Tbsps freshly chopped parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.
  • In a 9×13" baking dish add the cherry tomatoes, olives, pressed garlic, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, sea salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything well to coat.
  • Place the feta block in the center of your baking dish. Drizzle feta with the remaining olive oil.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until feta begins to brown and tomatoes are bursting.
  • Meanwhile, steam your cauliflower florets for just 5-6 minutes or until tender-crisp. Do not overcook the cauliflower, we don't want them mushy.
  • Once your feta is done baking, carefully remove from the oven and immediately start to mash and combine the feta and tomatoes with a fork, to create a creamy sauce.
  • Stir in your steamed cauliflower florets together with the second batch of minced garlic and a tiny pinch of sea salt and pepper. Top with your freshly grated mozzarella and return to the oven.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
