Feta Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze is the perfect starter to your family dinner or get together. Super quick, and easy. More importantly–crazy delicious. Bruschetta really is the ultimate appetizer.
Feta Bruschetta with Balsamic Glaze Recipe
Bruschetta is just one of those really simple dishes that everyone loves. It is fresh, hearty and not to mention, versatile. Versatile enough to toss on some Feta Cheese and drizzle on some sweet and tangy balsamic glaze.
Traditional Bruschetta only calls for a few simple ingredients – tomato, basil, garlic and olive oil. Which already is a combination of ingredients made in heaven. But for me, that makes the perfect foundation to mix things up and throw in a few special additions, my favorite one being feta.
I LOVE feta. And for me there is nothing better to add it to than a fresh homemade bruschetta. Not just because feta bruschetta is fun to say, but because it tastes delicious!
Another addition to feta bruschetta I love is a sweet and silky Balsamic Glaze. You can use store bought but I’ve included a simple recipe here as well.

Notes
1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar or brown sugar How much sugar do you need to make balsamic glaze?
I usually use 1 cup balsamic vinegar to 1 tablespoon sugar ratio. Some recipes call for much more sugar, but I think it gets too sweet after a couple tablespoon of sugar. I recommend starting with a low amount of sugar as you can always make it sweeter at the end. How to make Balsamic Glaze
Bring balsamic vinegar and sugar to boil in a pot.
Reduce to simmer for 20 mins, or until a syrupy texture.
