Feta-Fruit Appetizer
Carefully use a melon ball utensil or teaspoon to hollow out the cheese, preventing the sides of the cheese from crumbling.
Ingredients
-
2 8-ounce blocks feta cheese
-
2 cups assorted chucks of peeled fresh tropical fruit, such as kiwifruit, pineapple, papaya, guava, or mango
-
1 cup smoked almonds
-
1 cup cubed honeydew melon
-
2 tablespoons snipped fennel tops or 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
-
Pita bread wedges
Directions
1.
Using a melon baller or butter curler carefully remove cheese from the center of the blocks of feta to create "bowls" with sides about 1/2 inch thick. Hollow carefully to avoid cutting through the bottom. Transfer the scooped cheese to a small serving bowl.
2.
Arrange fruit, almonds, and melon in and around the hollowed cheese "bowls." Stir fennel tops or fennel seed into reserved cheese and serve with cheese bowls of fruit and pita bread wedges. Makes 8 servings.
