I can't recommend this book high enough. Brant Petrie delves into the teaching and background of the Eucharist in a thorough, yet accessible way. He touches on the the origins and practice of the Passover, the Temples, the Jewish expectations of the Messiah, and the culture of 1st century Israel. He then goes on to show how all this is fulfilled with our Lord at the Last Supper, His death and resurrection. Brant also includes Church teaching backed up with quotes from the early Church Fathers. An engaging book, I did have to try to not race through it and make sure that I paused to meditate on what I'd read. As a convert of only a few years, I found this book particularly helpful. But I would also recommend it for anyone wanting to better understand their faith.
