To make Basil and Feta Bruschetta Cups, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 slice of French bread
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the French bread into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes and toss to coat. Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the bread cubes are baking, prepare the bruschetta topping. In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Once the bread cubes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Using a spoon, scoop the bruschetta topping onto each bread cube, filling them to the top. Place the bruschetta cups back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
When the Basil and Feta Bruschetta Cups are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These appetizers are best served warm and can be garnished with additional fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.
Basil and Feta Bruschetta Cups are a perfect combination of savory and tangy flavors. The crispy bread cubes provide a satisfying crunch, while the bruschetta topping is bursting with fresh tomato and basil flavors. The melted feta cheese adds a creamy texture and a tangy kick to the dish. This appetizer is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
