I first had this in a lovely taverna in Kalohori, outside of Thessaloniki in northern Greece. It's a variation of an old standard cooked in the oven, but this is quick, easy, and tastes delicious. Try it as a hot appetizer, or as a side dish with egg or vegetable dishes. Time will depend on your microwave power. I make it in a 900 watt microwave, high setting.

In a shallow bowl or on a plate, place the tomato slices in one layer. Place cheese on top and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle oregano on top. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until feta begins to spread.
