Ingredients
  

Crostini
  • 1 baguette 12-ounce, cut into 24 slices about 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Whipped feta
  • 1 block (8 oz) feta cheese drained and crumbled
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
Hot honey
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 small saucepan

Method
 

Make the crostini
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Brush the slices with the 2 tablespoons olive oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until crisp and golden at the edges.
Whip the feta
  1. Process the feta, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Make the hot honey
  1. Warm the honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the honey is thin and warm; do not let it boil.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and let the honey steep for 5 minutes.
Assemble the crostini
  1. Spread the whipped feta on the crostini and drizzle with the hot honey just before serving.

Notes

For the smoothest spread, let the cream cheese soften fully before processing. Store the whipped feta and hot honey separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended. Use gluten-free baguette slices for a gluten-free option.
