This baked feta cheese and honey recipe is inspired by a recent trip to the Mosel valley. As well as having some great wine there I also had some great food. By baking the feta you turn it into something really special. The feta only takes a few minutes in the oven to cook and you can finish it off with some honey and herbs and gently grill it to get a great combination of sweet and salty taste.
To accompany my cheese I also made some roasted vegetables, they also take a few minutes in the oven. Serve the dish with some chunky bread to help soak all the juices.
