9. Remove the baked feta and tomatoes from the oven
10. Add oregano and stir everything together until a creamy sauce forms

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No fresh oregano? Stir in 1–2 teaspoons dried oregano, tasting as you go.
- Grape tomatoes work in place of cherry tomatoes with the same baking time.

### Storing it

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until steaming hot, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened.
