Savta’s Feta and Tomato Party Stealer

This dish was inspired by the way Savta always started gatherings - with something warm, simple, and full of flavor. The sweetness of the roasted tomatoes, the saltiness of the feta, and the hint of za’atar bring everyone to the table before the meal even begins. It’s easy, comforting, and always disappears first.
