Baked Feta with Sweet and Hot Peppers

Tish's Note:

This is a wonderful Greek appetizer, served with crusty bread and a chilled dry white wine. Try to find the imported feta with less liquid if possible.

This is a great appetizer. I made it a few nights ago when I had family over and it got rave reviews. It was really easy to prepare. In terms of servings, I would say 4, though three of us devoured the whole thing as we waited for dinner to be prepared. I used a french feta with very little water. I served it with bread. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks!
