Steps:

• Slice the baguette with a serrated knife.
• Rub the baguette slices with the crushed garlic cloves.

• Combine the onion, cucumber and tomatoes in a large glass bowl.
• Measure out the feta cheese into the bowl.

• In a liquid measuring cup, measure out the olive oil and red wine vinegar.

• Whisk or mix with a fork until combined, then pour on top of the vegetables.
• Toss until combined.
• Using a butter knife, spread hummus OR tzatziki sauce on top of the toasted, garlicky bread.
• Spoon the topping on top of the hummus or tzatziki.
• Garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy immediately.

GREEK BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Toast the bread and set aside, or dry it in a very low oven (a pilot light provides sufficient heat, if you have one) for 8 to 10 hours. Sprinkle rusks with a little water to reconstitute.
• Place the onion in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Allow to sit for five minutes, drain, rinse and dry on paper towels. Cut the tomatoes in half at the equator, and grate on the large holes of a box grater set in a wide bowl. Combine the grated tomatoes with the vinegar, capers, garlic, onion and dill or parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over each of the toasted bread slices or rusks. Top with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle on the cheese and oregano, drizzle on the remaining olive oil and serve.

• Top with tomatoes and basil.

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Core and chop the tomatoes, then transfer to a colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.
• Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
• When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.

Steps:

• Slice the bread 1 inch thick; grill on the bbq or under the grill in the oven until golden and crusty outside, but still soft and chewy inside- this takes about a minute per side, but it really depends on your grill temperature; drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and oregano, to taste; enjoy!
• I haven't really put down the number of servings cause you can make as many as you like, but count on a couple of slices per person cause they're so delicious.
• Note: you can do a variation on this by rubbing a cut garlic clove on the grilled bread before adding the remaining ingredients.

• Slice on the diagonal into portions and top with feta mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sliced black olives.
