A great Greek-inspired first course that is sure to be a hit.

Ingredients:
    ½ lb feta (preferably Greek), rinsed and drained
    ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    ¼ cup bottled roasted red peppers, chopped
    10 Kalamata or other brined-cured black olives, pitted, rinsed, and coarsely chopped (1/4 cup)
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    Accompaniment: lemon wedges; toasted pita wedges or crusty bread

    Garnish: chopped fresh parsley


Preparation:

Preheat broiler.
Cut cheese into ½-inch-thick slices and divide evenly among 4 small flameproof baking dishes (or arrange in 1 layer in a large one). Sprinkle oregano and pepper over cheese.
Stir together roasted red peppers, olives, and oil in a small bowl, then spoon mixture over and around cheese.
Broil 2 to 4 inches from heat until edges of cheese are golden, about 5 minutes.
