Baked Feta with Romesco and Olive Tapenade Recipe

Layer crumbled feta cheese with homemade romesco sauce and olive tapenade, then bake at 425 degrees until thoroughly heated (about 20 minutes). Briefly broil for an additional three minutes or so, or until the top is golden brown. Broiling foods can burn them quickly, so be sure to keep an eye on your oven.
