Whipped Feta & Honey Crostini

Salty, sweet, gone in two bites.

Whipped feta sounds like a restaurant trick and behaves like a food processor button. Make the spread hours ahead; toast and dress the crostini as guests arrive so nothing goes soft.

Whipped Feta & Honey Crostini

What You Need

  • 1 baguette, sliced ½-inch thick
  • 8 oz feta, crumbled
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the tray
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Fresh thyme leaves

How It Comes Together

  1. 01

    Toast the Slices

    Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes until golden at the edges. Cool on a rack so they stay crisp.

  2. 02

    Whip the Feta

    Blitz the feta, cream cheese, and olive oil in a food processor for a full two minutes — longer than feels necessary — until completely smooth.

    It goes from grainy to whipped-butter smooth all at once.

  3. 03

    Dress at the Last Minute

    Spread generously, drizzle with honey, scatter thyme. Assemble within an hour of serving or the toast softens.
