A little about this dish
In the spirit of summer, we bring to you a refreshing cucumber snack, unlike any other! Cucumbers are not only a cool antidote to the heat, but they are also rich in nutrients, including vitamin K, hydration, and dietary fiber. This dish, while a bit unexpected, is a delightful spin-off of classic American bruschetta, proving that cucumbers can be more than just salad material.
Ingredients (for 4)
- Large cucumbers — 2 — peeled and sliced into thin strips
- Small loaf of sourdough bread — 1 — thinly sliced
- Feta cheese — 1 cup — crumbled
- Cherry tomatoes — 1 cup — halved
- Fresh dill — 1⁄4 cup — chopped
- Honey — 2 tablespoon
- Olive oil — 2 tablespoon
- Salt and black pepper — to taste
Preparation
-
Step 1 — 🔥🍞🫒Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Take your thinly sliced sourdough bread and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush one side of each slice with olive oil.
-
Step 2 — ⏲️🍞😋Put the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven and bake the bread slices for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. After baking, remove the bread slices from the oven and let them cool.
-
Step 3 — 🥒🍅🌿🧀While the bread slices are baking, you can prepare the cucumber topping. In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, freshly chopped dill and crumbled feta cheese. Stir them together to mix.
-
Step 4 — 🧂🍯🥒🥣Season the cucumber topping with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of honey, then stir gently. Make sure not to break the cucumber slices.
-
Step 5 — 🍞🥒🍽️Once the bruschetta bread has cooled, set a tablespoon of the cucumber topping on each slice. Arrange your finished bruschetta on a serving plate and they're ready to serve immediately.
A final fox tip
Let the kids help with assembling the bruschetta, they will love it! To kick things up a notch, add a teaspoon of finely chopped jalapeno to the cucumber mix for a hint of heat. You can also swap honey for balsamic reduction if preferred.
