After working in Greek cuisine restaurants and pubs for a few years, I started to love feta, the famous Greek cheese, and today I prepared baked feta with lemon and onions which requires quick cooking so we don’t get too stressed in the kitchen heat!
It was for me a unique dish and I must say I liked it a lot, and I even ate the slices of lemon which then seem like candied fruit, and with the onion, they pair superbly!
In the kitchen, I had a Tropea onion and I used that, adding to the recipe of Greek feta cooked in the oven also oregano and thyme in abundance along with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil.

The red onion is exquisite but if you don’t have it, opt for golden or white, the addition of aromatic herbs is essential to enhance the taste and aroma!
