Marinated Feta Breakfast Plate

Ingredients

• 8 oz feta, in thick slabs
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano + ½ tsp chili flakes + zest of 1 lemon
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• Cucumber, olives, boiled eggs
• Warm pita or crusty bread
• Honey, one contrarian drizzle

Method

1. Warm the olive oil GENTLY with the oregano, chili, and lemon zest — 2 minutes, never sizzling; you're steeping, not frying.
2. Pour the warm herb oil over the feta slabs and rest 10 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for the deluxe version).
3. Arrange the plate: marinated feta center, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and eggs orbiting.
4. Drizzle a thin line of honey over the feta — salt-sweet against the herbs; trust the region.
5. Serve with warm bread for dragging through the infused oil. Breakfast that behaves like a holiday.
