Red Pepper And Feta Crostini

During September I was able to hit Ravinia and experience the first ever Food Network In Concert event with John Mayer and Phillip Phillips--great fun to say the least, plus, great food and a chance to watch the celebrity chefs firsthand.  Of course, Chicago featured some of its top restaurants, including a tent 'Efis' that was all about Greek.

As with all major events, you get a lot of little trinkets, but Efis was handing out a little pamphlet on using feta.  Couldn't help myself...and so, I modified the infrastructure on the Red Pepper & Feta Crostini.  See what you think, but I'd say it was quite delicious as an appetizer before dinner.  Just the sort of thing Jon loves. And so fast to assemble!
