A quick and easy appetizer featuring whipped feta cheese blended with cream cheese or Greek yogurt, drizzled with honey, and topped with fresh herbs on toasted baguette slices. Perfect for entertaining or a simple snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 ounces (55 grams) cream cheese or Greek yogurt, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, preferably raw or wildflower
  • 2 tablespoons (about 8 grams) fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, oregano, or a mix), finely chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1 loaf baguette or rustic bread, sliced thinly and toasted
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice (optional but recommended)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice baguette or rustic bread into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick slices. Arrange on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil on both sides, and toast for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy but not burnt.
  2. In a food processor, combine crumbled feta, softened cream cheese or Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic if using. Pulse until fluffy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Transfer whipped cheese to a bowl and gently fold in chopped fresh herbs. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Spread a generous layer of whipped feta mixture onto each toasted bread slice.
  5. Drizzle each crostini with about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey, letting it pool slightly.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle extra fresh herbs or a pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture. Store leftover whipped feta covered in the fridge up to 3 days; toast bread fresh before serving.

Notes

If the whipped feta is too thick, add a splash of olive oil or a teaspoon of milk to loosen. Do not skip the lemon juice as it brightens the flavor. Watch bread closely when toasting to avoid burning. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based feta and coconut yogurt. Gluten-free bread or crackers can be used for gluten-free diets. Adding chili flakes or chili oil can add a spicy kick.
