Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Tomato Confit:
Preheat the oven to 335°F.
In an oven-safe dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, Dan-O’s Cheesoning Seasoning, sliced garlic, and olive oil. Mix well.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
Toast the Bread:
Once the cherry tomato confit is ready, increase the oven temperature to 350°F.
Slice the baguette horizontally.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil (or butter) with Dan-O’s Cheesoning Seasoning, then brush the inner sides of the baguette with the mixture.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and toasted.
Make the Whipped Feta & Serve:
In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, garlic (if using), lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Spread the whipped feta on a large plate.
Top with the cherry tomato confit, fresh basil, dill, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Slice the baguette and serve warm.
