Tirokafteri (Greek Kafteri Dip)

Baked feta is a dish made by accident when a block of feta was baked instead of being refrigerated. It goes soft under the heat, the cheese and oil separate, and a hot pepper is added so the result can be scraped onto bread. It is served as part of a meze table, not alone.
