Oven Baked Feta with Figs and Grapes

Ingredients

• 10 California figs, halved
• 10 oz seedless grapes
• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
• 2 tbsp honey (divided)
• 1 block feta
• 1/2 to 1 tsp Aleppo pepper
• 4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme
• Baguette, sliced and toasted, to serve

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425F.
• Place the figs and grapes on a large baking sheet and toss with the balsamic, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and half the honey. Transfer to the oven for 8 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet and add the feta. Drizzle the feta with the remaining olive oil, honey, and the Aleppo pepper. Add the thyme to the baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes more, until the grapes have burst and the figs are jammy.
• Remove the figs and grapes and transfer to a serving dish/platter.
• Turn the oven to broil (high) and broil the feta for 3 to 5 minutes, until browned on top.
• Transfer the feta to the serving dish with the grapes and figs. Drizzle with a little more honey if needed and garnish with flaky salt if desired. Serve with baguette slices.
