How to Make the Best Marinated Feta Cheese Cubes Recipe

by

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Cube the Feta

  • Cut into 1-inch cubes for even marination.
  • Pat dry with paper towel—this keeps the oil clear and improves flavor absorption.

2️⃣ Layer the Jar

  • In a sterilized jar, layer feta cubes, herbs, garlic slices, peppercorns, and chili flakes.
  • Alternate layers until full, leaving a little room at the top.

3️⃣ Add Flavor Boosts

  • Slip in lemon zest, rosemary, or sun-dried tomatoes for deeper complexity.

4️⃣ Cover with Oil

  • Pour olive oil slowly until all cubes are completely submerged.
  • Seal the jar tightly and gently shake to distribute ingredients.

5️⃣ Marinate & Chill

  • Refrigerate for at least 24 hours—but 2–3 days yields more intense flavor.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

  • Bring to room temp for 10–15 mins before serving.
  • Great with baguette slices, grilled veg, olives, or on grain bowls and salads.

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Store in fridge for up to 2 weeks
  • Ensure feta stays covered in oil to preserve freshness
  • Use a clean utensil each time to avoid contamination
