Roasted Paprika and Whipped Feta Bruschetta

Ingredients

• 1 Pack of Vegan Feta/Greek Style Cheese (we recommend Violife) 

• 2 Paprikas/Bell Peppers 

• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 

• 50g Pine Nuts

• 1 Bunch Fresh Basil 

• 1 Baguette 

• Salt and Pepper

Method

• Start by pre-heating your oven to 180°c 

• Place your 2 whole paprikas in a baking paper lined oven tray with the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for approximately 20 minutes, until they start to char and soften. 

• Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, cut them open to remove the seeds and stem. 

• Add to a blender along with the vegan feta cheese and blende till a smooth whipped-feta cream. 

• Now you can slice the baguette and lay on an oven tray to toast in the oven. Turn the oven down to 150°c. This should take only 5-10 minutes and they can quickly turn from toasted to burnt, so keep an eye. 

• Meanwhile you can try toast the pine nuts in a small frying pan. On low-medium heat, keep moving them until they start to brown. 

• Once you have your toasts cooled, you can spead the whipped feta topping, and spinkle the toasted pine nuts along with some fresh basil chiffonade garnish. 

• Top with flaked pepper and salt to your taste.
