I have some to use up & I've only ever had it on salad. Not a huge fan. Anyone have some recipes for me?

    If you don't like it, don't eat it. But I love it on just about everything. Including steak and burgers (no bun) and in my scrambled eggs and pretty much yeah, everything.

    It's definitely a stronger tasting cheese but I do like it with eggs and tomatoes sort of like a Greek omlette and I do like it crumbled in tiny amounts on salad. But I definitely prefer other cheeses :) Maybe if you don't like it you can share with someone who does at work??

    Can't go wrong with a Spinach, Tomato, and Feta omelet.

    Try dicing up some pears and serving them together, and maybe some almond slivers. It's a nice balance.

    Sprinkled on top of chicken breasts. If you use it sparingly the protein of the chicken will cut the flavor some. I also like it with watermelon, but I like to mix savory and sweet things together. Omelets and salad wraps are a good way to go too.

    mix it with spinach. and if you can get your hands on some, take the spinach and cheese and spread it between phyllo pastry and make spanikopita.

    Or, mix it into your ground meat for a tangy burger.

    Or blend it with herbs and a little white wine vinegar and olive oil until as smooth as it will get and use as a sauce over lamb, veal or chicken.

    Or use a food processor with some olives (kalamata or black), oregano, maybe some pine nuts, and use as a spread on crackers.

    All sorts of things you can do with feta.

    I just made a Portobella Mushroom Pasta and had feta crumbled on top. It is a Molly McButter recipe from several years ago. Basically it is chicken broth with Mcbutter and some garlic ( I throw in some basil paste too) add 6 oz of mushrooms. Reduce to half on a simmer. Add strips of roasted red bell and then add about 1/2 pkg of cooked linguini. Toss and add feta crumbles on top. Makes about 8 cups and 1 cup serving is 120 cal with 2.5 g fat.

    I love feta.. I could eat it on anything almost.

    But I love it with Chicken breast. I sometimes mix it with Bacon, maybe spinach and stuff it in a chicken breast, or even just bake it on top. YUMM!
