Preheat your oven: to 180°C/400°F/gas 6.
Baking tray: line a flat baking tray with grease proof paper.
Seasoned oil: combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small jug Note 6.
Parsley: use kitchen scissors to roughly chop the parsley then add it to the seasoned oil.
Bread: spread your bread slices out onto the baking tray. Use a pastry brush to coat each bread slice with the seasoned oil.
Oven bake: place the baking tray in the oven and bake the bread for 15 mins or until toasted. Note 7, 8
Tomato mixture: use a knife to chop the tomatoes and feta cheese, roughly chop the basil leaves. Combine the tomatoes, feta and basil in a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Toasted bread: remove the toasted bread from the oven, let sit for 1-2 mins and then top with the tomato, basil and feta mix
Serve and enjoy: drizzle with balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze and serve.

Note 1 - Bread: purchase sliced bread as this will save you time, plus the pieces will be all uniform in thickness which is hard to achieve if you are cutting them one by one yourself!
Note 2 Feta cheese: I use Greek style feta cheese, you can also use Danish style if you prefer.
Note 3 Tomatoes: you can use normal tomatoes, vine ripened tomatoes or roma tomatoes.
Note 4 Herbs: fresh basil leaves are essential for this recipe as they bring a flavour that ties everything else together!
Note 5 Garlic powder: this will be in the herbs and spices aisle, it is a handy ingredient for many recipes!
Note 6 Oil seasoning: I like to use a mini whisk to combine these ingredients, it is easy and ensures that everything is consistently mixed together.
Note 7 Toasting the bread: don't worry about turning the bread slices over in the oven, they will get crispy and crunchy with the technique of brushing them with oil before baking.
Note 8 Crispy bread: the bread will still feel a little soft when you gently press a finger onto middle after 15 mins, but it will crispy up very nicely as it cools down. (Don't worry if it is not 'rock hard' at this point).
