This is one of those recipes that feels a little special but takes almost no effort. Creamy baked feta, sweet bursty cherry tomatoes, crispy garlic-rubbed bread… it’s the kind of dish you put in the middle of the table and suddenly everyone’s happy. Perfect for casual gatherings, cozy nights with a friend, and absolutely ideal with a chilled glass of Gratsi White Wine.

This bruschetta belongs in good company — a Spinach Bean Ricotta dip alongside it gives the spread real depth, while Gratsi Loaded Hummus fills the bowl on the other side of the board. Roasted Fingerling Sweet Potato adds warmth and sweetness to the table, and Taralli keep the crunchy snacking going between bites. Serve everything with a glass of Gratsi Sparkling White — it lifts all of it.

A person rinses red cherry tomatoes in a white colander under running water in a kitchen sink with a brass faucet. Two toasted baguette halves topped with whipped cheese, roasted cherry tomatoes, chopped herbs, and seasoning sit on a gray plate. A glass of light yellow drink and a striped cloth are nearby on a wooden surface.

Step 1: Bake the Feta

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the feta cheese in the center of a baking pan. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around it.

A woman in a kitchen stands at a counter, holding a white colander with cherry tomatoes. In front of her are a glass baking dish with a block of cheese, a glass of oil, and a wooden cutting board. Shelves with jars are in the background. A glass baking dish on a wooden surface contains a block of feta cheese in the center, surrounded by a border of whole cherry tomatoes.

Step 2: Season and Roast

Add 2 garlic cloves, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and pepper and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the feta is soft and the tomatoes are juicy and slightly blistered.

Step 3: Toast the Baguette

Slice the baguette in half. Drizzle a little olive oil in a pan and toast the bread on both sides until golden.

Two sesame seed baguettes placed side by side in a large round white pan with light green handles. Two pieces of toasted bread, cut lengthwise from a baguette, are placed side by side on a round, beige plate. The bread is golden brown with some darker, toasted spots.

Step 4: Rub with Garlic

Cut the remaining garlic clove in half and rub it over the hot baguette so the garlic flavor gently infuses the bread.

Step 5: Top and Serve

Spoon the baked feta onto the bread, top with the cherry tomatoes, drizzle with some of the pan juices, and finish with chopped parsley.

Serve warm, pass it around, pour the Gratsi White Wine and let the night unfold naturally.
