Feta-Stuffed Olives with Herbs and Garlic
Feta-stuffed olives are a classic Mediterranean appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The salty, briny olives are stuffed with a creamy, tangy feta filling and then baked until golden brown. The result is a delicious, addictive snack that is perfect for any occasion.
Olives have been a staple of the Mediterranean diet for centuries. They are a versatile fruit that can be eaten fresh, cooked, or preserved. Stuffed olives are a popular way to enjoy olives, and there are many different variations on the recipe. This particular recipe is inspired by the classic Greek dish of feta-stuffed olives. I have adapted the recipe to make it easier to make at home, and I have also added some fresh herbs and garlic for extra flavor.
