Feta Bruschetta

(From the Taste of Home Contest-Winning Recipes)

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup olive oil
10 slices French bread (1" thick)
1 4-oz. package crumbled Feta cheese
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. minced fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped

In a small bowl, combine butter and oil; brush onto both sides of bread. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Combine the feta cheese, garlic and basil; sprinkle over toast. Top with tomato. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve warm.

These were delicious. (I love feta cheese & garlic, though.) Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the microwave. All amounts can be varied depending on how strong you want the flavors.
