Bruschetta with Feta

Bruschetta is a classic antipasto from Italy. It’s basically slices of bread that have been drizzled with oil, toasted and rubbed with garlic. It’s often topped with anything from vegetables to cured meats. In this bruschetta with feta and tomato recipe, the garlic and oil are combined before brushing it on the bread slices and toasting. This gives the appetizer a more robust garlic flavor.
