Baked Feta Bread With Tomatoes A Greek Appetizer The Curry Mommy

If you love Mediterranean-inspired appetizers, then you must try this warm garlic bread with feta cheese! It can be baked or grilled to perfection and pairs well with salad or pasta. When two college girls create a Greek appetizer recipe you know it has to be packed with flavor and all the guilt, right? My friend and I ate this feta bread one too many times on Friday nights because it’s quick, delicious, and pairs well with wine!
