Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, coarsley chopped
- 3 tbsp. basil
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves
- 1 baguette
- 3 tbsp. oregano leaves
- black pepper, ground to taste
- 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. lemon zest, finely minced
- 1lb. feta cheese, firm
Instructions
For the toasts: Brush baguette slices on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; bake in a pre-heated 400 degree F oven on a parchment-lined baking sheet until crisp and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
For the marinade: With the motor running, drop the herbs and garlic through the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Drizzle in the olive oil to form an emulsion; turn off the motor, then add cayenne, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper; pulse once or twice to combine.
For the feta: Transfer marinade to a large bowl and toss with the feta. If desired, grind more pepper on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Bring the feta to room temperature and serve on top of toasted baguette slices. If you desire, you may arrange the feta bruschetta on a baking sheet and place under a preheated broiler until the cheese is slightly melted and just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.
