I got this awesome appetizer from a girl I work with. I'm not sure where she got it. She was raving about how wonderful it was so I told her to prove it to me! She made it for a going away party, and I'll be... she was right! Amounts are approximate. I just watched her make it and then tried myself. You can use a sturdy cracker like a Triscuit, but I think a baguette works better than the crackers because there is less salt. However, using crackers is a good way to keep it no-cook for the summer. (Serving size is an estimation.) Ingredients:
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled |
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, plus some to drizzle |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 baguette or 1 triscuit crackers |
1 small cucumber, in half lengthwise, then sliced |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. If using a baguette, toast in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until crusty.
2. Combine feta, evoo and lemon juice in a bowl - mash it really well.
3. Slice the bread into 1 inch thick rounds.
4. Spread a good amount (1 T?) of the feta mixture onto the bread slices/crackers.
5. Arrange 2 half slices of cucumber on top of each feta pile.
6. Drizzle with a little evoo and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
7. Skip the salt if you are using crackers.
8. Enjoy!
