“My daughter came up with this recipe and I’m asked for a copy of it every time I make it. It’s easy to switch up the flavor by using different types of pesto.” -Shirley Dickstein, Parma, Idaho

Tip

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

I made this for a family get-together, and it got RAVE reviews. We love olive tapenade, so I used that in place of pesto, and I used more feta. Wonder, bright flavors, and a colorful spot on the table! You get a great return on little effort!

I have had brushetta several times. My husband and I did not care for this recipe.

These are so good! This will be a keeper. The only trick is to not eat the whole plate by your self.
