    Now pour the oil into a large pan and add the garlic cloves. Let it flavor for 2-3 minutes, then add the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes over high heat.

  • Now add the coarsely crumbled feta and the torn basil leaves.

  • Melt the feta over medium-low heat. It will take about 5-7 minutes.

    Once melted, remove the garlic cloves.
