Instructions
Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. In a large ovenproof skillet or medium baking dish, combine shallot, garlic, tomatoes, and all but 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and red pepper flakes and toss to combine.
Place feta into center of tomato mixture; drizzle with reserved 1 Tbsp. oil. Scatter thyme sprigs over tomatoes.
