Ingredients
  

  • 7 ounces feta cheese (see note 1)
  • black pepper (a pinch)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (see note 2)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (see note 3)
  • dried chili flakes (, to taste, optional, see note 4)
  • 24 green olives (pitted, see note 5)
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil (cut into small pieces (optional), see note 6)
  • mini breadsticks (optional, see note 7)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cheese into bite-size cubes and transfer them into a small bowl. Add black pepper, dried oregano, about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and chili flakes. Toss several times or until the cheese cubes are coated in the seasoning and oil.
  • To assemble the shooters: Add one olive in a long thin appetizer cup, followed by Feta, olive, a piece of sun-dried tomato and mini breadstick. Repeat until you have used up all the ingredients.
  • Drizzle with remaining oil and serve!

Notes

  1. Feta – I bought a 7-ounce (200 grams) block of Feta. From this block, I used about ⅔ of it to make these appetizers.
  2. Oregano can be substituted with dried basil or Italian seasoning.
  3. Extra virgin olive oil – I don’t recommend using any other oil substitutes.
  4. If you are not sure about using chili flakes, feel free to omit them.
  5. Green olives can be substituted with black olives or purple olives. Use pitted olives or if you decide to use olives with stones, make sure to let your guests know beforehand.
  6. Use sun-dried tomatoes in oil!
  7. Mini breadsticks are a fun addition to these shooters, but they can be omitted as well.
