Method
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread crumbled feta cheese on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cook, stirring halfway through cooking time, until cheese is golden and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. (Make-ahead: Can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.)
Place tomatoes on serving dish and top with olives and feta. Drizzle with Basil Oil and aged balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with basil leaves, fleur de sel and pepper.
Basil Oil
In saucepan of boiling salted water, blanch 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves and 1/4 cup packed baby spinach for 30 seconds. Using skimmer, remove basil and spinach from pan and plunge into bowl of ice water. Drain leaves, pressing to remove as much water as possible. In blender, purée basil and spinach with 1/4 cup canola oil. Using fine sieve placed over bowl, strain oil. (Make-ahead: Can be stored in airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Allow to return to room temperature before using.) Makes about 1/2 cup.
