What do you add feta to? ›

Feta Crumbles are so versatile that you can use them to garnish pasta, watermelon, grapes, nuts, chickpeas, potatoes, salads, pizza, or eggs. It's the perfect tangy touch to elevate any dish.

You can use Blackstone Cast Iron Conditioner or flaxseed oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil, or extra virgin olive oil. Use a paper towels to spread the oil evenly across the entire surface of the griddle plate. Turn the heat back on to high and let the griddle heat up until it starts smoking.

The best temperature range is between 400 and 425 degrees. While your flat top preheats… Cut your veggies of choice and toss them with oil and seasonings. Then, add a thin layer of oil to the cooking surface area, and place your veggies on the hot griddle.

Texture: Since the curd is just lightly pressed together, Feta is very crumbly, and works beautifully as a topping to other dishes. When you put it in your mouth, however, high quality Feta will become quite creamy, not grainy. Cooking: Feta melts well, turning soft, not gooey, and maintains its flavor when heated.

Feta cheese pairs wonderfully with tart fruits like cranberries, apples, and pears as well as sweet honeycomb. It also goes amazingly well with olives and tomatoes—all of which can be used to create amazing salads or appetizers.

Feta dries out quickly when removed from its brine, so always store feta in the brine it is packed in (we do not recommend buying precrumbled “dry” feta). One final note: It's a good idea to rinse feta packed in brine just before serving to remove excess salt.

Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium heat. Add both bags of stir-fry vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables for 6-10 minutes or until lightly seared and tender.

Brush Your Vegetables With Oil

To prevent sticking, brush the vegetables with oil after slicing, and make sure your grill is very clean. An everyday olive oil is your best bet for both flavor and color on the finished vegetables.
