It’s unbelievably hot in Amman this week. They’re calling it a heat wave, and we’re hitting temperatures hotter than Aqaba (which by the way gets really hot in the summer). Central Air Conditioning isn’t a thing in most homes. It’s kind of like the heater thing. You only cool the room you’re in. In an ideal world, I would have central A/C and a swimming pool at home that I’d spend all day everyday floating on a pool raft and sipping ice cold Diet Coke while watching my dog play and swim.
But I haven’t made those ideal world dreams a reality … yet. So my alternative is to avoid turning on my stove and oven at all costs. Enter Whipped Feta Tomato Toasts. If you use a thick crusty bread, Whipped Feta Tomato Toasts are super filling. All the key elements are there– Bread, Cheese, Tomatoes — what more could you ask for?!?!?!
I used plain yogurt in my whipped feta to keep it light and healthier than the cream cheese alternative. You will not be disappointed.
BRB while I go sit by the A/C for the rest of the week!
