Preheat oven to 350F. Soak dried tomatoes in very hot water until soft – 5-10 minutes; drain, reserving liquid. Place tomatoes and remaining pesto ingredients in blender or food processor and process until well mixed. If too thick, blend in a little of the reserved water. Set Aside.

On large baking sheet, toast bread slices brushed with olive oil for about 5 minutes or until crisp and golden, turning once. Remove from oven.

Spread each bread slice with tomato pesto; top with a small amount of crumbled feta cheese and one small basil leaf. Serve.
