"Elegant appetizer or snack. So very easy to make, just mix and bake! Also makes a yummy dip instead of a spread. From Cooking Light Magazine so it is keeping with my New Years resolution to eat healthier! (2 bread slices with 2 tablespoons spread = 1 portion)"

The kids and I just loved this "oh so easy" and low fat appetizer. We dipped our ciabatta bread slices in it, and finished it up in record time. I didn't need to change a thing - it's great as is. Thanks for sharing a delicious and healthy recipe.

Great snack for DH and I to indulge in when we are watching the calories. I love that it is low fat and flavors are great! By the way, I used FF Feta cheese and baked whole wheat pita points with great results!

I used fat free feta cheese and this is superb. It goes with roasted veggies, bread, pita crisps or bread sticks.

This is a sensational recipe! I baked it longer so it would be thicker. In addition to enjoying it on bread, I had some on some leftover pasta. YUM! Thanks so much for sharing this.

An easy, delicious appetizer. I must admit I added almost double the amount of feta because we like it so much.
