Albanian Grilled Feta Cheese with Herbs
Introduction
Grilled Feta Cheese with Herbs is a simple yet flavorful Albanian dish that's perfect as an appetizer or side dish. Cooking it on the Arteflame grill enhances the natural richness of feta, melting it slightly while keeping a firm texture. The combination of butter, oregano, and chili flakes takes it to the next level. Use this method, and you’ll create a dish that’s perfectly seared, incredibly aromatic, and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
1 block of feta cheese (about 7-8 oz)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp red chili flakes
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Pita bread or crusty bread, for serving
The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.
Place the soaked napkins in the center of the Arteflame grill.
Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
Wait about 20 minutes until you've got an even heat zone on the griddle.
Step 2: Prepare the Feta Cheese
Brush the entire block of feta with melted butter.
Sprinkle oregano, chili flakes, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over it.
Step 3: Grill the Feta
Place a square sheet of parchment paper on the griddle to prevent sticking.
Put the feta cheese on top of the parchment paper.
Grill for 4-5 minutes until the edges start to soften but the cheese retains its shape.
Flip it carefully using a spatula and grill for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Serve
Carefully remove the feta from the grill.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with pita or crusty bread.
Tips
Use a thicker block of feta to prevent it from fully melting.
Parchment paper ensures easy flipping and prevents sticking.
Butter enhances flavor better than olive oil.
For a smokier touch, place the feta closer to the grill center for 30 seconds.
Variations
Lemon & Thyme: Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and substitute oregano with thyme.
Honey Drizzled: Drizzle honey over the feta after grilling for a sweet-savory contrast.
Garlic & Paprika: Mince fresh garlic and mix with smoked paprika before brushing onto the feta.
Olive & Sun-Dried Tomato: Top with chopped olives and chopped sun-dried tomatoes post-grill.
Sesame & Black Pepper: Coat feta with sesame seeds before grilling for added crunch.
Conclusion
Grilling feta on the Arteflame grill takes this classic Albanian dish to another level. The buttery, herb-infused feta crisps slightly on the outside while staying creamy on the inside. It's simple, quick, and absolutely delicious.
