This is a perfect appetizer in any season. Roasting tomatoes elevates the flavour and served warm over the whipped Feta is brilliant. Do take the time to press the Feta or the spread will be too briny.

- Meanwhile, prepare feta at least 1 hour prior to serving.
- *Wrap feta in a thick tea towel and place on a plate. Then take at least 8 more plates and stack on top. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour to remove some of the brine from the feta.
