    Serving Ideas:
    – Set sieve in a bowl. Strain cooked tomato confit, reserving oil and juices; brush oil and juices over both sides of 1/4-inch thick baguette slices. Bake in 350°F oven, turning halfway through, for 3 to 5 minutes or until toasted. Spread 1 tbsp tomato confit over each slice of baguette. Divide 3/4 cup feta cheese evenly over tomatoes. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
    – Spoon tomato confit over grilled salmon fillets or chicken.
