Feta Bruschetta


I came across a recipe the other day for a dip that used feta, tomatoes, green onions, and olive oil and thought that it sounded yummy.  As I was preparing it, I did my usual and added a zillion different spices that I like to spruce it up a bit.  I served it on Wheat French Bread and it was a hit!  I ate so much of it that I could have just made my meal out if it alone.  I definitely recommend this recipe for any time you need to just throw something together and have an appetizer ready or when you need to take an appetizer or side dish somewhere.  I know I am going to be making this a staple for dinners.  It is absolutely incredible!  And just as good the next day!

Feta Bruschetta


What you will need:

Tupperware or dish that is 8"X8" or a bit larger (see image below)
3-4 large Roma Tomatoes (I like roma's because they are denser and have less seeds)
3-4 green onion bunches (about 7-8 of the long green parts)
1 package Feta Cheese Crumbles...I love the reduced fat kind
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Tony Chachere's Seasoning
Greek Seasoning
Ground Black Pepper
Sea Salt
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Wheat French Bread

First, pour olive oil into your dish so it covers the entire bottom...just enough to cover the bottom will work great.  Shake several dashes of the greek seasoning all over the olive oil.

Next you can begin dicing your tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the olive oil as you go.  No need to stir yet.  Chop your green onions into small pieces and add them to the dish.  Now you can put the entire package of feta cheese crumbles on top of the tomatoes and green onions.

Now for the spices, I used several more dashes of the greek seasoning and several dashes of Tony Chachere's seasoning.  I then used about 1 tsp of black pepper and a couple dashes of sea salt (not too much though because the feta already has a sort of salty taste).  Do a few sprinkles of garlic powder and onion powder and then mix it all together.  The below picture is what it will look like when it is all mixed together...getting hungry yet?


After you have it all mixed together, cover the dish and put it in the refrigerator.  I let mine sit in there for about an hour while I cooked the main course for dinner, which was yummy Chicken Piccata (recipe to come soon!).  I then served a spoonful of the mix onto warm freshly toasted wheat french bread.  I hope you enjoy this super easy and delicious recipe as much as we did!
