Description
Irresistible Hot Honey Whipped Feta Crostini is the kind of easy recipe I make when I want a quick appetizer, healthy snack, or simple brunch bite that still feels special. Crisp toasted baguette is layered with creamy whipped feta and finished with sweet-spicy hot honey for one of my favorite food ideas when I need easy entertaining, quick breakfast inspiration, or fresh appetizer ideas with bold flavor.
Ingredients
8 oz feta cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small garlic clove
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 baguette, sliced into 12 pieces
2 tbsp extra olive oil for brushing bread
3 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 pinch extra red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
1. Add the feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Warm the honey slightly, then stir in the red pepper flakes to make the hot honey.
3. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast them until golden and crisp.
4. Spread a generous layer of whipped feta over each toasted crostini.
5. Drizzle the hot honey over the top, then finish with chopped parsley and extra red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
Do not assemble the crostini too early, or the bread can lose its crisp texture before serving.
