Description
A delightful appetizer that combines creamy, tangy whipped feta with a touch of sweet heat from honey.
Ingredients
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the 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 them cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Chill the whipped feta until ready to use.
- In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat. Add red pepper flakes and stir for about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the honey infuse for 5–10 minutes.
- Spread a generous spoonful of whipped feta onto each crostini and drizzle with warm hot honey. Enjoy immediately!
