Greek Bruschetta Ingredients :

  • 1 baguette
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 1-2 Persian or Lebanese cucumbers
  • 150 grams olive spread
  • 100 grams feta cheese
  • ¼ red onion
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Garlic clove

For the dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt

How To Make Greek Bruschetta

1

Prepare the vegetables by halving the cherry tomatoes and thinly slicing the red onion. Use a peeler to create cucumber ribbons.

2

In a small bowl or ramekin, combine all dressing ingredients and whisk together.

3

Slice the baguette diagonally into approximately 20 slices. Place them flat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Toast in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

4

Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and rub them with a garlic clove.

5

To assemble, spread olive spread on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a rolled cucumber ribbon, half a cherry tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Crumble feta cheese over the top, drizzle with the prepared dressing, and they are ready to be served!

Recipe Notes

Bread choice: Use crusty baguette slices or pita bread for an authentic touch.

Herb variations: Incorporate fresh herbs like oregano or parsley for added flavor.

Cheese alternatives: Substitute feta with goat cheese or ricotta for a different taste.

Vegan option: Omit cheese and use a plant-based alternative to make it vegan-friendly.

Serving suggestion: Pair with a glass of chilled white wine or ouzo for a complete Greek experience.

Storage: Assembled bruschetta is best enjoyed immediately; however, the topping mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
