Feta Mint Bruschetta



I came up with this really quickly tonight in the face of a grill fiasco. The chicken burned to a crisp when I had only left it alone for 8 minutes! I think the grill was too hot...anyway, in the face of a meat-debacle I decided to make something yummy and protein-filled. These were really good with a glass of wine. Fresh and flavorful. 

Ingredients:

-1 loaf of french bread, sliced
-12 oz. of fresh feta cheese, very thinly sliced
-2 tomatoes, thinly sliced, seeds removed.
-1 bunch of mint, torn in small pieces
-extra virgin olive oil
-1 large garlic clove
-salt and pepper

Slice up the cheese and tomatoes, and tear up the mint. 

Toast the bread on the grill or in the oven. Slice the garlic in half and rub it on the top side of each slice of toast (this will give a little garlicky flavor!). Lay a slice (or a few) of feta, tomato, and a scattering of mint over top. Drizzle over a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and a crack of pepper. Serve!
