INGREDENT
- 1 block of feta cheese (traditionally sheep’s milk, or a mix of sheep & goat’s milk)
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Cut the block of feta into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the cubes in a clean glass jar or bowl.

- Pour the infused oil over the feta cubes.
- Add lemon zest for extra brightness (optional).
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.
- Serve as part of a mezze platter, in salads, or with warm bread.
Would you like me to make this recipe simple snack-style (just seasoned feta cubes) or a full Mediterranean appetizer version (with olives, roasted peppers, etc.)?
