To make Baked Feta with Grape Tomatoes:

Prepare the Feta: Place the block of feta in an ovenproof dish or a small baking pan.
Arrange Grape Tomatoes: Arrange the grape tomatoes around the feta in the baking dish.
Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and tomatoes. Turn the tomatoes in the olive oil so they are coated.
