Mediterranean Bruschetta

Transform humble sourdough into an elegant Mediterranean appetizer with this vibrant bruschetta that combines rustic charm with sophisticated flavors. Crisp slices of artisanal sourdough are lightly brushed with premium olive oil and toasted to golden perfection, creating the perfect foundation for a generous crumbling of tangy feta cheese. The crowning glory comes from a colourful medley of Italian roasted peppers, their sweet and slightly smoky flavors melding beautifully with the salty feta. Each bite is finished with your choice of fresh garnishes – whether it’s aromatic basil leaves, fresh flat-leaf parsley, or crisp cucumber slices – adding both visual appeal and a fresh contrast to this classic antipasto that’s equally suited for casual gatherings or elegant entertaining.
