Ingredients
  

Baguette slices
  • 1 baguette Sliced 1/2 inch thick on the bias.
Olive oil
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
Whipped feta base
  • 8 oz feta Crumbled.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Softened.
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
Hot honey topping
  • 0.25 cup hot honey
  • 1 red pepper flakes For garnish.
  • 1 fresh thyme For garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 food processor

Method
 

Toast the baguette
  1. Preheat oven to 400F, then brush baguette slices with olive oil and arrange them on a sheet pan with space between each piece.
  2. Bake for 6-8 minutes at 400F until golden and crisp at the edges.
Make the whipped feta
  1. Blend feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest in a food processor until fluffy and smooth.
Assemble and finish
  1. Spread a thick layer of whipped feta on each crostini so the topping holds its shape.
  2. Drizzle with hot honey, then top with red pepper flakes and fresh thyme for garnish.

Notes

For the smoothest whipped texture, use softened cream cheese and blend until no small lumps remain. Store leftover whipped feta in the fridge up to 3 days and re-toast crostini separately; freeze the whipped feta for up to 2 months (thaw overnight in the refrigerator). For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and plain low-fat Greek yogurt to reduce overall fat while keeping the spread creamy.
