PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

CHEESE BOARD

Serve alongside nuts, olives, and keto-friendly crackers for a satisfying snack or appetizer.

MELTED ON MEAT

Crumble over burgers, steaks, or chicken, then broil briefly until warmed and lightly browned (feta softens rather than fully melts).

IN OMELETS

Crumble into eggs with vegetables for a protein-rich breakfast or anytime meal.

CHEESE CRISPS

Crumble small mounds and bake at 400°F (205°C) 5–8 minutes until edges brown and bits turn crisp-chewy.

CREAMY SAUCES

Whisk into warm cream-based sauces for vegetables or meat, or use as a dip for celery and cucumber.

STUFFED PEPPERS

Mix with ground meat and spices to stuff into bell peppers before baking for a complete meal.
