Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic
- 200 grams low-sodium ham
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 small cucumber
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 50 grams feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly brush the slices of whole grain bread with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil on both sides. Place on a baking tray.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes on one side, flip, and toast for another 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is in the oven, peel and finely dice the garlic clove. In a small bowl, mix the diced garlic with Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Set aside.
Dice the low-sodium ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and the small cucumber into thin rounds.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
On each slice of toasted bread, spread an even layer of the Greek yogurt mixture.
Top the yogurt layer with diced ham, followed by sliced cherry tomatoes and cucumber rounds.
Crumble feta cheese evenly over the top of each toast.
Sprinkle black pepper over each toast, to taste.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or a light Mediterranean snack.
