Ingredients

• 1 loaf baguette

• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup feta cheese
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the baguette slices for 8-10 minutes or until golden and lightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 7

Crumble the feta cheese and add to the tomatoes.

Step 8

Chop the fresh basil leaves into thin strips and mix them into the tomato and feta mixture.

Top each toasted baguette slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato and feta mixture.

Step 11
