Cucumber Feta Toasts is a classic mediterranean combination that makes a wonderful appetizer or snack.

Need a quick appetizer that requires no cooking and tastes great? Well I found this recipe for Cucumber Feta Toasts in my little Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazine. I had to laugh when I saw it because it’s basically a twist on a Persian classic, Noon-o Panir-o Khiar (lavash with feta and cucumbers).

This version uses french baguette and adds olive oil and lemon juice to the mix. Martha toasted her bread. I didn’t toast mine. I prefer to chew on softer bread. A great tasting olive oil is a must for this because it really does enhance the flavor and compliment the cheese.

Well, I made French baguettes! And I’m proud of myself for that one! I didn’t use the recipe provided by our hostesses. Frankly, I didn’t have two days to prepare it and wait for it rise and on and on. And quite frankly, I’m not very successful with homemade bread (remember my pita experience?) But, I admit that my failure is mostly because I don’t have the patience for it. My three kids suck all of that up from me!

I did use my old bread machine to mix the dough. Forgot I had it until I visited my good friend, Karin, who whipped us up fresh bread using her machine. Afterward the dough was easily made for me (ha! ha!), I formed them into the right shapes, let it rise again and baked the bread. The bread machine certainly made my life easier to make the delicious baguettes. I’ll have to post the baguette recipe one of these days…
