Sweet & Spicy Whipped Feta Crostini with Hot Honey Drizzle is a vibrant explosion of creamy, tangy whipped feta meeting a delightful jolt of sweet heat from hot honey, all perched elegantly on a crispy, golden crostini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large baguette, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
  • 8 ounces block feta cheese, drained and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided
  • Pinch of sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves or fresh basil leaves, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, rub onto both sides, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (and optional black pepper). Bake for 8-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely.
  2. In a food processor or stand mixer, combine crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whip for 3-5 minutes until very smooth and airy. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for 30 minutes if desired.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons honey, remaining 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and optional 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Gently heat over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to infuse flavors. Do not boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Generously spread whipped feta onto each cooled crostini. Drizzle with prepared hot honey. Garnish with fresh mint or basil leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
