What you need,
8 oz. feta cheese
3 oz. cream cheese
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
3 cups cherry tomatoes or any tomato cut into bite sized
pieces
1 tbsp. olive oil
Salt & Pepper
2 tbsp. fresh chopped basil for topping
1 small loaf crusty French style bread
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese,
olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Season the cheese mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Put the cheese mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for a
couple of hours.
Heat your oven to 400 degrees. In a baking dish toss the
tomatoes with olive oil and about 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst
open.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let stand while you
make the toasts.
Heat the broiler and move a rack to the upper position.
Cut the bread into 1½ inch slices, drizzle both sides with
the extra virgin olive oil. Broil the toasts for a minute or two on each side
until brown and crisp. Watch it close so it doesn’t burn.
To serve spread each toast with a good amount of the whipped
feta, top with some lovely roasted tomatoes and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
Stuff in your face!
