Broiled Feta Cheese

 Ingredients

1 pound feta cheese

1 small shallot or onion, diced

1/4 cup white wine

1/8 cup olive oil (for drizzling)

2 tablespoons of paprika

3 tablespoons of lavender

1 scallion, sliced

1/2 lemon for juice & zes

Directions

Crumble feta into an oven-safe dish which can be put under the broiler, and mix in the hallot/onion & lavender. Pour the wine over it, until it is evenly distributed. Drizzle with olive oil, squeeze lemon over it for juice, and sprinkle paprika. You can pick up lavender at almost any coop store/health food store—and what they sell should be culinary grade.

It’s not necessary, but brings this dish to the next level. Place under broiler for 10-13 minutes, checking every couple of minutes. It should end up crispy on top and creamy under the wine. Grate some lemon rind for zest and add some sliced scallion over the top when done, if you wish. Eat “straight” up, or with a pita. Enjoy!
