- 250g feta
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 80ml runny honey
- 3figs, quartered
- 2thyme sprigs, plus extra to garnish
- Bath Oliver biscuits

Instructions
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the feta in a small ovenproof dish that you can put on your board. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 6 mins or until the cheese is springy to the touch but not melted. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the honey, then return to the oven. Arrange the figs on a baking tray and bake alongside the cheese for 10 mins. Remove and season to taste with black pepper, then garnish the cheese with the thyme sprigs.Step 2
To assemble, put the dish of baked feta in the centre of a heatproof board (wooden is good). Create a fan of Bath Oliver biscuits along the right side of the feta and arrange the toast crackers at the top and bottom of the board. Arrange the halved cucumbers and figs on the left side of the feta, then fill in the gaps with almonds and olives, and garnish with thyme.
