Bruschetta is one of my favorite appetizers, because it is not only easy to make and presents well but is delicious. We must have made tons of the stuff when my daughter had her catering business.

How To Make bruschetta with feta (sallye)

  • 1
    NOTE: PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

    NOTE: For this recipe, it is necessary to use all fresh produce!!! Cut tomatoes into halves Peel and cut garlic cloves in half Peel and cut onion into quarters Remove stems from basil (use only leaves) Place all these items in food processor and lightly pulse until just coarsely chunky (DO NOT OVERPROCESS) Use slotted spoon to transfer to mixing bowl with oil/vinegar mixture and toss gently until veggies are well coated Reason for using slotted spoon is so your mixture won't be too juicy Set aside

    Place bread slices in preheated oven and toast for 5 minutes. Do not overtoast or bread will be hard Remove from oven and arrange slices on serving platter in single layer Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoon of bruschetta mixture onto each slice, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese

    ALTERNATE METHOD OF PRESENTATION: Place bread slices in decorative basket lined with linen cloth. Cover bread with cloth to keep warm (If you have a warming stone to set in the bottom of basket underneath cloth, that's even better) Place bruschetta mix in serving bowl with spoon Place crumbled feta cheese in separate serving bowl with spoon Let each guest perpare their own slice(s).
