I prepared this bread with feta cheese spread as a light summer dinner long ago, but it is suitable for all kinds of weather and any time of the day. When we were school-age, my mother used to prepare them usually for sunday nights, because me and my brothers suffered some kind of monday syndrome and refused to eat proper meal, so she had to discover this kind of snacks to attract us to the dining table. With the help of hot Turkish tea from babe-belly turkish tea glasses -my granny's words- this breakfast-like dinner strategy always worked...Nowadays I usually make them when I have a lot of leftover breads.
200 g feta cheese
1 tbsp butter
2 eggs
1 small onion (chopped- or some spring onion, but my favourite is chives))
1 tomato (diced, drained)
handful of flat leaf parsley (chopped- essential, please don't skip on it)
1 green chilli (optional)
handful of fresh mint (optional)
a french baguette (sliced, lightly toasted under grill on two sides, you can use every type of crusty bread with full body)
- Mash feta cheese and butter with a fork, mix with eggs very well and add chopped ingredients.
- Spread evenly on lightly toasted bread slices, cook under grill watching carefuly. Enjoy with your tea or your favourite fruit juice.
note: Makes excellent pizzas on ready-made pizza bases.

Sounds delicious. I'm quite mad about feta cheese; in fact I ate some just tonight!
ReplyDeleteI do know what you mean about that Sunday night thing.
So good!I like feta and this snack is what I would like to eat now, but...I'm working...

Betul, my mom used to and still does make almost the same snack. The reason why she came up with it was to deal with stale bread syndrome rather than Monday syndrome, though. And it's still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteKalyn, no more Sunday night thing, after your WHB :)
ReplyDeleteSaffron, now I imagine it with halved ciabatta, you don't have to toast it, so easy peasy..
Lama, welcome :) I will add yours as well.
ReplyDeleteBurcu I wonder howmany spread recipes like muhammara, acika etc.. are born out of this stale bread syndrome, you know ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Yes, it's a snack perfect for anytime!
ReplyDeleteI adore ideas of what to make with day-old bread: you have given me another! Other ideas as of late: bread crumbs, bruschetta, bread pudding, bread salad and a baked omelette (bread cubes on top).
ReplyDeleteLovely blog!
Gattina, thank you :)
