Rusks with Tomato

I ate dinner at a Greek restaurant this evening (in Greece? go figure!) where I ordered “rusks with tomato” as an appetizer. It’ a bit like bruschetta (an Italian dish made with tomatoes and basil on bread).

Like bruschettra, rusks are also made from bread, but baked a second time to dry the bread (to the extent that it’s crunchy). In this case, the bread was about 3/4” wheat bread. It’s then topped with crushed tomatoes and feta cheese. With the thick crunchy bread, I had to use a fork. But i was delicious.

PS (Internet cafes — so handy.)
