Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices rustic sourdough or multigrain bread
  • 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 small garlic clove, minced

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

 

  • Fresh basil leaves, torn


Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano (if using). Toss gently and let marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.

  • Brush each bread slice lightly with olive oil. Toast the bread in a skillet or under the broiler until golden and crisp.

  • Spoon the marinated tomatoes (including juices) generously over the toasted bread.

  • Top with crumbled feta cheese and torn fresh basil leaves.

 

  • Drizzle with any remaining marinade for an extra burst of flavor and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan twist, swap feta with plant-based cheese alternatives.

  • Use gluten-free bread if needed for dietary restrictions.

  • Marinate tomatoes longer for a deeper flavor.

  • Toast bread just before assembling to keep it crisp.

 

  • Feel free to add avocado slices or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
