White Bean, Sun-Dried Tomato, And Feta Bites
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (8.5-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, 2 tablespoons oil reserved and tomatoes chopped
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (from about 10 sprigs)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 1/2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped and loosely packed
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, finely grated (about 1/4 cup)
- 3 1/2 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- 10 slices white sandwich bread, each slice cut into 4 squares
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- In small saucepan over moderately low heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and tomato oil until hot but not smoking. Add pine nuts and toast, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Continue stirring until mixture cools slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, tomatoes, lemon juice, basil, Parmesan, and Feta. (Topping can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 6 hours. Before serving, bring to room temperature.)
- Arrange bread squares on parchment-lined baking sheet and brush on both sides with remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Toast, turning once, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Top squares with white bean topping and serve immediately. (Alternately, serve white bean, sun-dried tomato, and Feta mixture in bowl and arrange toast squares alongside.)
