A drizzle of honey and a blast of heat transform a standard block of crumbly feta into an unexpectedly luscious, creamy spread for pita. This recipe by Sara Dickerman makes a perfect warm weather supper.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Combine honey and two sprigs of thyme. Microwave for 30 seconds. Let cool and set aside for a few hours or overnight.
2

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
3

Heat the broiler. Remove thyme sprigs from honey and set aside. Reheat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush, then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Decorate with the thyme sprigs, if desired. Season to taste with black pepper and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with pita wedges..
