14-16 ounces Feta Cheese use goat cheese for a tangy flavor if preferred.
3 Tbsp Avocado Oil olive oil is a great substitution for a robust taste.
0.5 tsp Dried Oregano or Dried Parsley fresh herbs can elevate the flavor if you have them on hand.
1 pinch Black Pepper adjust to taste for your preferred spice level.

0.5 cup Fig Preserves honey or fruit jam (like raspberry) can be delightful alternatives.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toast the chopped pecans in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-3 minutes until fragrant. Mix with fig preserves.
Place feta cheese in an oven-safe dish. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with oregano and black pepper.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Stir the feta and top it with the pecan-fig mixture.
Return to the oven for another 12-17 minutes until hot and fully combined.

Serve with freshly toasted baguette slices or crunchy crackers for a delightful dipping experience.
