Whipped Feta, Tomato, Basil & Lemon Zest Bruschetta
Bruschetta is likely one of Italy’s most well known appetizers. Its versatility lends itself to a myriad of preparations. The common factor of all recipes is the toasted bread, while the toppings range from classic, simple ingredients—fresh-pressed olive oils, fragrant garlic, sea salt and black pepper, vine-ripened tomatoes, wild-grown oregano, handmade cheeses, cured meats—to creative combinations with international flavors. In Tuscany, the local bruschetta is called fettunta, in Piedmont soma d'aj and in Calabria fedda ruscia.
Servings: 6-8Slice and toast the bread. Add the feta and cream cheese to a food processor. Blend until well combined; about 3 minutes.
Top the toasted bread with the whipped cheese mixture, tomatoes, basil, a swirl of extra virgin olive oil and lemon zest. Buon appetito!
