Found this recipe in an old recipe magazine and thought I would give it a try as we have so many nice cucumbers from the garden right now. It was delish and we had it for lunch 2 days in a row. Love the salty from the Feta spread and the crunch of the cucumbers. Very refreshing!
Ingredients
- 1/2
- baguette
- 6 tsp
- extra-virgine olive oil, divided
- 3 oz
- feta cheese
- 1/2 tsp
- fresh lemon juice
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 small
- english cucumber, thinly sliced crosswise
How to Make Baguette with Feta Spread and Cucumbers
- 1Preheat oven or toaster oven to 450 degrees. Split baguette lengthwise and lightly brush cut sides with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Bake until golden around edges, 5 minutes.
- 2In a small bowl, mash together feta, 4 teaspoons olive oil, and lemon juice with a fork. Season with salt and pepper--you may not need the salt if your feta is very salty.
- 3Spread feta mixture evenly over toasted baguette and top with cucumber. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
- 4Cut into pieces to serve. I happen to have a bottle of Lucero crushed Meyer Lemon Olive Oil and that worked perfect for my drizzle.
