Greek-style bruschetta is an appetizing and quick-to-prepare appetizer, an ideal summer recipe to open a dinner or a backyard barbecue, or to serve as tapas for an aperitif. The Greek-style bruschetta are nothing more than croutons topped with a mix of tomatoes, Greek feta cheese, cucumbers, olives and spring onion, all ingredients also common to the famous and delicious Greek salad.
The recipe for these quick bruschettas is therefore really for beginners, the only advice I can give is to cut the ingredients into small cubes, especially if you intend to serve the Greek bruschettas as finger food. For these bruschetta with feta cheese, the most suitable flavoring is oregano, to which I also add a few basil leaves that sweeten the taste of the other ingredients.
