This Greek inspired side dish works for both breakfast and dinner. These baked mushrooms and feta dishes can actually be prepared in advance so you can portion out sides for a dinner party with little to no fuss at all!

I just bought some Emile Henry brulee dishes because I had plans to make creme brulee for my wife. However the first thing I made was a simple shiitake mushrooms and feta baked dish for one of our breakfasts. When I made my ribs eggs Benedict, I made a side dish of Shiitake Saganaki, which is just mushrooms and feta fried in a skillet with seasonings. This baked mushrooms and feta is almost the exact same thing…except baked.
You can use any mushrooms you want in this recipe, I just chose Shiitake because that is what I had on hand. However white button, or hen of the woods, or chanterelle would all be tasty in this dish.

For seasonings I just used what I would use when making a proper Greek salad. After all, if I’m using feta I may as well keep with the Greek theme. In fact, a dish of feta baked with olive oil, peppers, and tomatoes is a very popular Greek appetizer.
For this baked mushrooms and feta dish a healthy amount of Greek extra virgin olive oil, a tablespoon of chopped oregano, some salt, and a splash of red wine vinegar is all that’s needed to season everything well.
