Instructions

Slice the french bread into thin slices and lay them out on an oven-safe tray with foil or parchment paper (optional but helps with clean up). Spread garlic butter on each bread or drizzle/brush with extra virgin olive oil.

Crumble feta cheese on top of the fresh sliced bread.

Arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes on top of the crumbled feta cheese then sprinkle crushed spicy chili flakes and parsley on top. Lay the slices of bread on top of foil or parchment paper.

Bake at 375 for about 7-10 minutes or until the desired crisp has been reached.

Enjoy warm.

Substitutions

1. Feta- Boursin Cheese will work as an alternative
2. Cherry Tomatoes- Use sliced roma tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes as an alternative.
3. French Bread- Baguette works just as well sliced into thin diagnols

Variations

• Whipped Feta- Feel free to whip the feta cheese in a chutney machine or food processor and then slather it on top of the bread before topping it with tomatoes.
• Grill- Place the bread with the toppings on top of the grill and cook until crispy.
• Cook the feta- When the feta cheese warms in the oven it gets a melted soft texture giving the cooked feta a delicious combo
• Garlic Bread- purchase readymade garlic bread and add feta cheese, tomatoes, and spices on top.

Top Tips

1. Slice tomatoes very small so when you take a bite the entire slice of tomato doesn't come off.
2. Garlic butter tastes great on the feta bread, then drizzle olive oil on top before eating.
3. Take the easy way out and buy Texas Toast from the freezer section, add the toppings, and bake to perfection.
