Tomato and Feta Crostini
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 5 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
- 12-inch baguette, cut into thin rounds
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Place the diced tomatoes in a mesh strainer or a colander. Add the salt and mix gently. Set aside over a bowl or the sink to drain.
Heat the oven to broil.
Arrange the bread rounds on a rimmed baking sheet. Spritz the bread with the olive oil cooking spray, then broil on the bottom rack until just lightly toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
Transfer the tomatoes to a medium bowl, discarding any juices that have drained out. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and oregano, mixing gently.
Spoon some of the tomato mixture onto each bread round, then top with crumbled feta. If desired, the crostini can be placed under the broiler for another minute or so to warm and lightly brown the cheese.
