Grilled Feta

I wanted to make grilled halloumi but couldn't find any, so I bought some feta and found that you can grill it as long as it's in a little tinfoil packet. This is a great appetizer or accompaniment to a light dinner of Greek salad and chicken souvlaki. You can really add in whatever you want for seasoning. I kept it pretty simple with grape tomatoes, herbs de provence, lemon, and garlic, but you could add cooked tomatoes, capers, chilies, olives... The cheese gets hot and melty and it's super tasty, and couldn't be easier.

Put out a large sheet of tin foil. I put lemon and garlic on the bottom.
Then I put down a block of feta and topped it with olive oil, salt and pepper, herbs de provence, and grape tomatoes. After all the little fixings are in there, form it into a tightly sealed packet. Put it on a hot grill for about 10 minutes.
Open it up very carefully - really hot steam will come out.
Serve it with lemon slices, and maybe some pita and other Greek bites. Can be an appetizer, too, with just pita.
