How to Make the Best Marinated Feta Cheese Cubes Recipe

👩‍🍳 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
