The idea for this recipe came to me while at the olive bar in Whole Foods. If you don’t know me and haven’t read up on my blog you may not understand my love of Whole Foods. I LOVE WHOLE FOODS… sometimes I go to Whole Foods for no reason other than to roam and take in all the good food… Anyways… The olive bar has all kinds of delicious looking foods drenched in olive oil (feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, capers…) I remember thinking that I wanted to eat all these good things in one bite, yum! Well that is essentially what this recipe is, the olive bar in one bite, and it tastes even better than it looks.
Feta and olive bruschetta
1/2 C feta broken into pieces
1/4 C chopped olives (I used mostly kalamata and a few green olives)
1/4 C sun-dried tomato
1 T capers
1 clove garlic chopped
1 fresh tomato chopped
Drizzle of olive oil and balsalmic vinegar
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Several pieces of crusty bread, brushed with olive oil and toasted
Preheat oven to 350 and toast bread for about 15 minutes, if bread is still not toasted at this point broil for a few minutes.
Mix all other ingredients together. Next step: scoop mounds of the bruscheta onto the warm toast and INDULGE.
This is so simple and so delectable. We ate the whole batch in one evening, practically ignoring our main course of ravioli… and quite honestly I have it mind for dinner tonight!
With love,
Rosie
