Ingredients
  

Baguette
  • 1 baguette sliced 1/2 inch thick on the bias
Olive oil
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
Feta
  • 8 oz feta crumbled
Cream cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
Lemon zest
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
Hot honey
  • 0.25 cup hot honey
Garnish
  • 0.5 red pepper flakes for garnish (to taste)
  • 1 fresh thyme for garnish (to taste)

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Toast the baguette
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F, then brush the baguette slices with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the crostini are golden and crisp.
Make the whipped feta
  1. In a food processor, blend the feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest until fluffy and smooth.
Assemble
  1. Spread a thick layer of whipped feta on each crostini.
  2. Drizzle with hot honey, then top with red pepper flakes and fresh thyme.

Notes

Pro tip: soften the cream cheese at room temperature so the feta mixture whips smooth instead of grainy. Store assembled crostini components separately—whipped feta in the fridge up to 3 days and toasted bread up to 1 day (re-crisp in a 350F oven for a few minutes). Freezing whipped feta is not recommended for best texture. For a dairy-light option, use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat feta, and expect a slightly less creamy spread.
