Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large Roma tomato (about 1 cup chopped)
  • 8 pitted Kalamata olives (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 long baguette (whole grain recommended)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • parsley (chopped or sprigs)
Servings: pieces
Units:
Instructions
  1. Chop onion, tomato, and olives. Place in a medium bowl.
  2. Add crumbled feta, mayonnaise, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend well. NOTE: Make ahead to this point if desired, then refrigerate until ready to assemble and cook.
To assemble and cook:
  1. Preheat broiler about 5 to 10 minutes before ready to cook.
  2. Slice half of the baguette into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, cutting straight across for smaller rounds, or on the diagonal for larger, oblong shapes.
  3. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread a spoonful of the tomato mixture on each slice. Sprinkle some Parmesan on top. Cut more of the baguette as needed to use all of the tomato mixture.
  4. Broil about 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley, either by chopping and sprinkling some over the melts, or by placing sprigs around them. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes

VARIATION:

  • Use a larger loaf, like a round paesano, and make luncheon-size melts.
