Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- Slice the pearl tomatoes horizontally (each one in four pieces) and place on paper towels to drain. (If you are using one large tomato, cut the end pieces and slice the rest in six slices). After 3-4 minutes, turn them over and place on new paper towels. Cut the pepper into four rings and set aside.
- Oil well a small, shallow ceramic baking dish (or four individual ceramic ramekins) and place half of the tomato slices at the bottom. Sprinkle with some sea salt and crushed pepper flakes. Top with half the bell pepper slices.
- Arrange the two Feta pieces on top of the tomato/pepper layer, place the remaining tomato slices on top of each piece of cheese, and place the rest of the bell pepper rings on the tomato. Drizzle liberally with the extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and some more pepper flakes, and transfer to the middle of the oven.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the feta turns a light-golden color and the oil is sizzling. If you want to deepen the color, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
- Brush some olive oil on the slices of good, multigrain bread, and grill on both sides. Serve the baked feta immediately with some warm grilled bread.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap a 3-foot piece of foil around the center of the pan, scooting it down as best you can.
- Cut the tops off the peppers and hollow out the centers to remove the membranes and seeds. Using a small spoon is easiest. Set aside.
- Add the garlic to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the feta, cream cheese, oil, pepperoncini and juice. Pulse until it is a smooth mixture. Sprinkle in the parsley and oregano, then pulse a few more times until blended. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed peppers.
- Arrange the peppers so that they are standing up nestled side-by-side in a single layer in the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until the cheese mixture is golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before eating, or serve at room temperature.

This is such an easy appetizer that never fails to impress! People are familiar with feta, but this traditional Greek way of preparing is not as well known. The salty/sour taste of the feta offsets the heat of the chili flakes - so don't be afraid to load them on! Serve with crusty bread or toast.

Tips:
- Choose bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored, with smooth, unblemished skin.
- To easily remove the seeds and ribs from the bell peppers, cut them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the insides.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can also roast the bell peppers on a baking sheet. Just be sure to line the sheet with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup easier.
- For a smoky flavor, roast the bell peppers over an open flame or under a broiler.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If you're roasting a lot of peppers, you may need to do it in batches.
- Roast the peppers until they are tender and slightly charred. This will take about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the peppers.
- Let the peppers cool slightly before stuffing them. This will make them easier to handle.
- You can use any type of cheese you like for the stuffing. Feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all popular choices.
- If you want a vegetarian version of this dish, you can omit the sausage and use crumbled tofu or tempeh instead.
- Serve the peppers immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
