Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Whipped Feta:

  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Crostini:

  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Hot Honey:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a food processor, blend feta, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides as needed. Chill until ready to use.
  3. To make hot honey, warm the honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let infuse for 5–10 minutes. Strain if desired.
  4. To assemble, spread a spoonful of whipped feta onto each crostini. Drizzle with warm hot honey and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add toppings like chopped pistachios, fresh herbs, or roasted grapes for extra flair.
  • Whipped feta can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
