What is Bruschetta?

Bruschetta is a classic Italian antipasto food that consists of beautifully toasted bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil. There are many different variations of toppings to add to Bruschetta bread such as fresh tomatoes and basil, roasted vegetables, cheese, and even cured meats.

Ingredients to make Greek Bruschetta

Baguette is sliced and toasted to make homemade crostini for the base. You can also use gluten free or wholegrain bread
Cherry tomatoes give a lovely sweetness. I love using baby Roma cherry tomatoes
Persian or Lebanese cucumbers are always my preference as they're crisper and have more flavor. Any cucumber will also be great
Olive spread is added to the toasted bread. Olive tapenade will also be great too for the signature kalamata olives in a Greek salad
Feta cheese is crumbled on top. You can also use a plant based feta to make the dish vegan
Red onion you don't need much just 1-2 slices per piece
Garlic clove is rubbed on the bread once it comes out of the oven for a light garlicky taste
Extra virgin olive oil is added both to the bread and also to the Greek dressing
White vinegar is also added to the dressing, red wine vinegar also works great too
Lemon freshly squeezed is added to the dressing for some acidity
Dried oregano is the herb of choice and of course very traditionally used in Greek salads and Greek cuisine

How to make Greek Bruschetta

Time needed: 15 minutes

Prepare veggies
Start by slicing cherry tomatoes into half and slicing a red onion thinly. Using a peeler, peel a cucumber to make cucumber ribbons
Make dressing
Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, ½ squeezed lemon, 1 teaspoon dried oregano and a pinch of salt to a small bowl or ramekin and whisk together
Make crusty bread
Slice a baguette diagonally into about 20 slices. Place bread slices on a tray with a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Put in a pre-heated oven at 180C/350F for 3-4 minutes until they're nicely toasted.

Remove from oven and rub toasted baguette slices with sliced garlic clove
Time to assemble
First spread on some olive spread, top with a rolled cucumber ribbon, cherry tomato and a couple of slices of red onion. Crumble over some feta and drizzle over a spoon of the Greek dressing and they're ready to be served!

Tips for Greek Style Bruschetta

Toast baguette slices until they are well toasted on both sides
Allow toasted bread slices to cool slightly before adding the toppings. This allows them to crisp up even more which keeps them crunchy
Serve immediately once made as the longer they are left out, the bread will naturally soften from all the toppings
