# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in 30 minutes from craving to plate, no stress required.
  • The feta gets creamy and dreamy while the tomatoes turn sweet and jammy, creating this perfect salty-savory contrast.
  • It's the kind of thing that looks intentional but tastes like you didn't try too hard.
02 -
  • Don't skip lining your tray with parchment—the feta can stick to bare metal and make cleanup a nightmare.
  • The feta doesn't need to melt completely; that slight resistance when you bite into it is actually what makes this special.
03 -
  • Make your tomato mixture a few minutes early so the flavors start marrying before everything goes in the oven.
  • If your feta looks dry after baking, you can always add a tiny drizzle of good olive oil after plating—it's never too late to make something better.
