Healthy Fact of the Day

Feta cheese is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics. When combined with the antioxidants and vitamins from fresh tomatoes and olive oil, this appetizer offers a balanced and flavorful start to a meal.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 (8 oz) block of feta cheese
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place the feta block in a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

  3. In a bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the tomatoes evenly.

  4. Pour the tomato mixture over and around the feta block.

  8. To assemble, spoon the warm tomato mixture over the toasted baguette slices.

  9. Top each bruschetta with a piece of the baked feta.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Using lean ground beef keeps the protein content high while moderating saturated fat.
