Best use of good feta in a main dish

[celeste]

I just picked up a beautiful hunk of feta at a specialty Middle Eastern food store. It's a very creamy, flavorful sheep's milk feta.

I usually use feta in its generic forms in omelets, pastas, etc.

What's a good way to feature my good feta in a main dish tonight?

Another good one for next time is to stuff a chicken breast with spinach and feta, add some mint and oregano to it too.

I make a "mediterranean grilled cheese"...I take pocket pitas, stuff them with feta, red onion and a faux tapenade (or real tapenade if you got it) that is basically kalamatas ground into a paste with whatever else I feel like adding. Brush a little olive oil on the outside of them and cook them in your grill pan, panini press, or even a skillet. For next time.. :-)

It was a warm night, so I ended up buying some lamb merguez sausages, cooking them in a cast iron pan, and making pita sandwiches with the merguez, feta, butter lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. It was good!

One of my favorite dishes is seared feta and grilled chicken over a angel hair pasta light tomoato sauce and drizzeled basil. I have also had it on top of fried tortilla wedges.

Dice sweet tomatoes, slice fresh basil leaves and crumble the feta cheese. Toss the mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cook linguini, and with a small amount of the cooking water left in the pasta, toss the feta mixture into the hot pasta with olive oil until the feta begins to melt.

I use feta when I make Greek-ish pizza - crust, artichoke hearts, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, parmesan cheese. My vegetarian daughters love it.

I get great French feta that is from sheep's milk and is lovely and creamy. My local Middle Eastern Store has a nice variety. Not harsh or overly salty. My daughter loves it on pita with zaatar and olive oil. I love it just plain or with some good extra virgin olive oil drizzled over it. I'm not a fan of cooked feta.

I would serve it as an after dinner cheese course/dessert, drizzled with lavendar honey. Serve it with toasted bread rounds.

Here's a recipe to give you the general idea:
