Bake 38 to 43 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Top with tomato, feta and dill; serve with lemon wedges.

Swap in shredded pepper Jack cheese if you like things on the spicy side.
Don’t skip the fresh dill and lemon. These garnishes add bright, fresh flavor to finish this dish off with flair!
The salt level in feta can vary. To prevent oversalting this dish, taste your feta before adding the 1 teaspoon called for here. If you find you have a particularly salty piece of feta, reduce salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
