This whipped feta crostini recipe is a flavor-packed, bite-sized wonder that’ll steal the spotlight at your next holiday party! Perfectly toasted crostini and a tangy whipped feta, topped three different ways. This easy appetizer recipe is a total crowd-pleaser!
What You’ll Need to Make Whipped Feta Crostini
Baguette (1-inch slices): The crunchy canvas for your culinary masterpiece. Go for a good-quality baguette that will hold up to the whipped feta goodness. Or use a gluten-free baguette for an entirely gluten-free appetizer.
Feta: The star of the show! Opt for a high-quality feta for that perfect blend of creaminess and tanginess. I use and recommend this barrel-aged feta.
Yogurt: A dollop of yogurt adds a touch of smoothness to the whipped feta. It’s the secret ingredient for that irresistible texture.
Good Quality Olive Oil: A drizzle of liquid gold to tie it all together. Don’t skimp on the olive oil; it’s the finishing touch that elevates this crostini recipe. I use and love this Graza Olive Oil in my whipped feta!
Tips and Tricks
- Whip It Good: When blending the feta and yogurt, let the mixer work its magic. Whip until the texture is smooth and creamy. You want that dreamy consistency that spreads like a cloud on your crostini.
- Get Ahead of the Game: This recipe is a winner for planning ahead. Whip the feta mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Toast the baguette slices separately. When it’s party time, assemble the crostini with a dollop of whipped feta right before serving.
- Top it Off Creatively: Let your creativity shine by trying different toppings. Pomegranate seeds and honey add a burst of sweetness, while sliced pears, walnuts, and honey provide a perfect blend of textures. For a classic touch, go with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt – my favorite!
Whipped Feta Crostini – 3 ways!
Ingredients
For the crostini:
- 1 baguette, cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the whipped feta:
- 5 ounce block feta
- 1/4 cup plain unsweetened yogurt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- pinch of salt
For topping:
- pomegranate seeds
- sliced pears
- chopped walnuts
- honey
- olive oil
- flaky salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the baguette slices on the baking sheet and brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Remove from oven and let cool while you make the whipped feta.
- Add the feta, yogurt, olive oil, and salt to a large bowl. Use either a hand or stand mixer to whip the feta until mostly smooth and combined (some lumps of feta may remain).
- Top each crostini with about a tablespoon of whipped feta, then top however you’d like. I recommend either pomegranate and honey, sliced pears, walnuts, and honey, or olive oil and flaky salt.
