Greek Bruschetta
My husband was out of town last weekend so my kids and I were on our own. We rented movies after playing in the park on Friday afternoon and came home to a house that smelled of freshly baked bread. I decided to do a fun dinner for us using the French Baguette I baked earlier in the day. I made two different types of bruschetta (I will post the other one tomorrow). We had a nice evening eating with our hands and watching movies. It was a great night with my kiddos.
Greek Bruschetta:
Ingredients:
- Handful of grape tomatoes, diced
- Handful of kalamata olives, diced
- 1 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp feta cheese
- Dash of oregano
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- French baguette, sliced
- 1 clove of garlic
How to Make Greek Bruschetta
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the tomatoes, kalamata olives, pine nuts, parsley, feta cheese, oregano, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and place them into the oven. Bake for 3-4 minutes until slightly crisp. Remove the bread from the oven and rub the garlic clove over each slice. Top with the tomato mixture and eat immediately. Enjoy.
Bruschetta is such a great meal. LOVE it! Your weekend with the kiddos sounds great.
Such a nice appetizer and very colorful as well!After having seen these pictures I can not possibly refrain from a very late night snack..Have a good night!
Just the sort of thing I like and do for myself when alone. Great combination of food. Diane
Very yummy and best dish you shard here. Just now I finished. I added more tometo because I like its flavour too much, really very delicious dish.
Simple,quick,tasty,colourful and….greek!Love your bruschetta!Kisses from Greece,dear!
Here's the problem I have – I hate olives. Like, absolutely detest them, spit them out everytime, will throw away a sandwich 1/4 way through if I find it has olives.
How do I make up for that in something like this? Because I LOVE Greek food.
This looks great! We make regular bruschetta often, this is next on the list. Thanks!
Perfect use of your baguette
This is my kind of dinner!
Sounds like fun and fabulous food.
This version looks fantastic, love the Greek flavors.
I LOVE Greek flavors, and this looks delicious, Pam! I bet it was amazing on your home-made baquette!

Great idea Pam. I love Greek salad, and pairing it with crusty bread can only be a good thing!
Another fantastic Greek dish, Pam. This looks absolutely lovely!! I'm inspired to use more Greek flavors because of you 🙂
This looks delicious!
Yum! What a great summer meal – fresh and full of flavor. I am an olive addict so this is perfect for me!
yes of course why not. brilliant, just brilliant.
Anonymous,
You can do the bruschetta without the olives. Maybe try replacing the olives with artichoke hearts. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pam
Great appetizer! Or I would even call this lunch!
love these mediterranean flavors! What a great bruschetta!
What nice idea Pam, I love bruschettas and kids too! gloria
LOVE those flavors! I have another big pot of your famous ragu simmering away in the oven!!!
I can't wait to make this. It will be the appetizer for our Memorial Day barbecue.
I'm wondering if your kids ate this one? Or if the one you're posting tomorrow was their favorite? My boys will try just about anything, but I'm not sure the olives and the cheese will be a hit with them. Bruschetta sounds great though. I think we'll do that for lunch next week.
Perfect and pretty, too! I must do this soon.
What a lovely little meal for you and your kids! Sounds like you all had a great time. Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe! 🙂
SO YUMMY! i just love those flavors, delicious!
They're very cute. There's nothing like finger food, is there?
Yum Yum! This looks so good my kids would love this too. I may use this this weekend for my daughters b-day party for an appetizer.
Oh yum! I love bruschetta. The Greek twist on this sounds so good!
Sounds wonderful. Great twist on a classic. If only my 6 year old would eat anything like this.
Your kids eat this kind of thing?? I am jealous. Mine would want the bauguette slathered with butter or Nutella. Sounds de-li-ummy to me though!
That looks delicious. I sure do wish I could have some now! I can't believe that you even made the baguette yourself. Way to go! I hope you can come by at share this delicious looking bruschetta at These Chicks Cooked Recipe Spotlight. Have a blessed day 🙂
