To prepare this delicious Greek baked feta recipe, start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the onion and pepper into rings or half rings and chop the tomato into small cubes. (Use the ripest tomato you can find.)
Place the block of feta on some aluminum foil and top with the tomato, onion and pepper. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Wrap the feta cheese with the aluminum foil and place on a baking tray. (Make sure that the aluminium foil isn’t torn, to keep the juices inside).
Bake in preheated oven at 180C until the vegetables have softened, for about 20 minutes.
Serve the baked feta as it is (with the aluminium foil), with some crusted bread aside. Enjoy!

I like this recipe, but I am wondering if it could be baked in a covered casserole/baking dish instead of the foil. I am trying to stop using disposable products whenever possible.
