Baked Cherry Tomatoes with Feta and Basil

Norm and I attended a Greek cooking class at Culinary Conspiracy a couple of years ago and one of the recipes that Win, the chef, shared with us was this baked cherry tomatoes with feta and basil. It's really delicious on ciabatta bread.

2 TBSP minced garlic
2/3 cup olive oil
3 lbs cherry tomatoes, cut in half
10 oz feta cheese
2/3 cup fresh basil - rolled and sliced into thin shreds
salt and pepper
loaf of fresh bread

Steep garlic in oil for at least 1/2 hour. Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash and stem tomatoes and cut in half. Plae tomatoes in a shallow baking dish, pour the olive oil and garlic over them and toss lightly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake 10 minutes. Stir gently. Place the unwrapped bread in the oven at this time and sprinkle the tomatoes with feta and basil and bake a few more minutes. Serve with the bread to mop up the juices.
