Method

  • 1. To make marinated feta, place ingredients (except oil) in a medium glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal jar then shake gently to coat cheese. Open the jar and pour in enough of the oil to cover the cheese. Reseal and refrigerate overnight.

  • 2. Preheat oven to 220°C (200° fan-forced) and grease a large oven tray.

  • 3. Heat butter and oil in large frying pan. Cook leek, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until soft.

  • 4. Meanwhile, cut pastry into 25 x 5cm squares. Place on oven tray and prick each with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes or until browned. Reduce oven to 200°C (180° fan -forced).

  • 5. Combine tomatoes and vinegar in a medium bowl, season to taste.

  • 6. Divide leeks between pastry squares. Top with a piece of cheese and tomato. Bake for 5 minutes or until tomato just softens. Sprinkle with thyme and serve.
