ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FETA BRUSCHETTA
I'm not a big fan of bruschetta, but I love this recipe, and so does everyone I've made it for! This is just as good as anything from a restaurant. This recipe takes longer the first few times you do it, before you really get the hang of it. It is a bit of work, but trust me, it's worth it! Most likely, you won't have leftovers.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix tomatoes, feta, olives, chive and oil. Add salt and pepper.
- Brush toasted slices of baguette with olive oil. Spread the topping on the slices. And it's ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best taste. Look for tomatoes that are a deep red color and feel heavy for their size.
- Use good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality cheese. Look for feta that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up to the toppings and prevent it from getting soggy.
- Don't overload the bruschetta: When assembling the bruschetta, don't overload it with toppings. You want each bite to have a good balance of flavors.
- Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can assemble the bruschetta and then store it in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Feta bruschetta is a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or gatherings, and it's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and feta cheese. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients, feta bruschetta is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
