Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes

  • 2 large cloves garlic, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

  • 1 tablespoon sliced serrano or jalapeño pepper

  • 1 tablespoon basil pesto

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese, cut into 4 pieces

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks

  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (such as Mike's)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

  • Crackers, bread or crudités, for serving

Directions

  1. Position rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F.

  2. Combine tomatoes, garlic, shallot, serrano (or jalapeño), pesto and pepper in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat. Roast on the top rack until sizzling and the tomatoes are beginning to burst, about 10 minutes. Add feta and cream cheese and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Continue roasting until the tomatoes have burst and the feta has softened, about 10 minutes.

  3. Without removing the pan from the oven, turn the oven to broil. Broil until the tomatoes and feta are slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with basil. Serve with crackers, bread or crudités, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
