Ingredients
Scale
For the Crostini
- 1 French baguette, cut into ½-inch slices
For the Whipped Feta
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup pitted olives, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a large half-sheet baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread is lightly toasted and crisp, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Whipped Feta: In a food processor or blender, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve a uniform texture.
- Assemble the Crostini: Spread a generous spoonful of the whipped feta mixture onto each toasted baguette slice. Top each with a spoonful of halved olives and a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- Quicker Alternative: Use pita chips or crackers instead of toasting baguette slices to save time. Simply whip the feta, spread it on your choice of base, top with olives, and enjoy.
- Storage Tips: Store whipped feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep toasted crostini at room temperature in a sealed container or bag once completely cooled. Avoid assembling crostini too far in advance as they may become soggy.
