Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought I would share a super easy recipe from my new cookbook, “400 Best Sandwiches: From Burgers & Classics to Wraps & Condiments”. These Tomato, Fresh Herbs and Feta Crostini would be considered an open-face sandwich and a simple spring appetizer that is pretty, fresh and versatile with a brunch, lunch or dinner menu. I am making this recipe today along with 4 other recipes on Nashville’s Newschannel 5 “Talk of the Town”. My television segment will air at 11 a.m. central as well as on Comcast channel 50 at 12 p.m., 4 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. on Monday. I hope everyone has a great weekend and Mother’s day celebration.
Tomato, Fresh Herbs and Feta Crostini
5 minutes
15 minutes
8 to 10 servings
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese with tomato and basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons Italian flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 to 10 baguette slices (about 1/2-inch-thick)
5 plum (Roma) tomatoes, thinly sliced
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a small bowl, combine feta, basil and parsley. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together olive oil, garlic and pepper. Brush oil mixture evenly over each bread slice. Place on a large baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and top with tomatoes slices. Spoon basil mixture on top of tomato slice and serve immediately.
Love feta!! The crostini looks lovely!
There are few things that say summer more than a tomato crostini. The herbs, the cheese… all I need is a bottle of wine and these babies and I’m a happy camper
crostini remind me that summer is coming soon! Congrats on the great appearance!
I bet “Talk of the Town” will be so fun with you sharing these recipes. Happy Mother’s Day friend. Have a great one with your sweet family 🙂
With ingredients like these you just can’t go wrong! Yum :-). Happy mother’s day!
Simple and pretty – the perfect appetizer. Happy Mother’s Day to you, Alison.
This makes me feel like summer really is coming– looks delicious!
I’m with Brian. Give me a plate of these and a bottle of wine and I’m in heaven. I looked for you on the news site but I didn’t see you. Is there a video of you making your recipes? I would love to see it.
Hope your Mother’s Day was the best!
What a great appetizer for summertime! These look very tasty and simple to make! Totally agree with Cooking Rookie – can’t go wrong with those ingredients!
Wow! This is a super party food! I can make it for a big breakfast on Sunday morning.
