For the bruschetta topping:
- 1 cup diced heirloom cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- 6 large basil leaves, julienned
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
For the crostini:
- 1 demi French baguette, cut diagonally into 1/2 inch slices (you’ll get about 10 slices)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled
For the whipped feta base:
- 1 batch Creamy Whipped Feta Dip
For serving:
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
- 6–10 small basil leaves
Instructions
- Make the bruschetta topping: In a medium size bowl, add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper and mix it together with a spoon. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the dip.
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush the top of each slice with olive oil. Gently rub the garlic clove on one side of each piece. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on the edges.
- While the crostini bake, make one batch of Creamy Whipped Feta Dip. Pour the dip into a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to gently spread the dip out. Use another spoon to serve the bruschetta on top of the feta dip; you can leave any excess bruschetta liquid in the bowl. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the dip and arrange the small basil leaves on top.
- Serve the crostini alongside the dip and enjoy immediately!
