  • 2 cups multicolored grape tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 head of garlic
  • --- extra virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 TBSP. white wine vinegar

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.

  8. Next, spread the whipped feta on the slices and then top with roasted tomatoes.
  9. Garnish with some fresh chives and serve.
