Basil and Feta Bruschetta


Bruschetta is one of the most delicious and appetizing meals. That's why it's one of the most popular appetizers on the menu. But did you know that it is incredibley easy to throw together? And it can even be done on the grill if you don't want to heat the oven. Even in the winter months, it is just as delicious with canned ingredients! So smile and enjoy this delicious, fresh and beautiful dish. 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees OR heat your outdoor grill
Ingredients:
1 Loaf of Italian bread (There is a recipe for homemade at the beginning of my blog posts)
1 large tomato diced
Crumbled Feta cheese (or shredded mozzarella)
5 or 6 leaves of basil chopped
Minced, zested, or dried garlic (or garlic salt)
Salt (if NOT using garlic salt)
Pepper

Slice the bread into 1 inch thick slices. Drizzle with olive oil and set aside. Simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle with your desired amounts of garlic, salt and pepper. Spread onto each slice of bread. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is browned. And enjoy!

If you want to use your grill, place the olive oiled bread on the grill and toast one side. Flip over and top with toppings. Turn the heat on low, close the lid and let the cheese melt. YUM!
