Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 French baguette, cut into ½-inch slices
Whipped Feta Spread
- 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
- Toast the Baguette: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Arrange the sliced baguette pieces in a single layer on a large half-sheet baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread slices are toasted and crisp.
- 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, ensuring a fluffy texture.
- Assemble the Crostini: Spoon a generous amount of the whipped feta onto each toasted baguette slice. Top each with a spoonful of halved olives and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- For a quicker alternative, use pita chips or crackers instead of toasting baguette slices. Simply whip the feta, spread it, top with olives, and serve.
- Store the whipped feta and toasted crostini separately to maintain freshness. Whipped feta keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Store toasted crostini at room temperature in a sealed bag or container after cooling completely to keep them crisp.
- Assembled crostini will become soggy if stored for too long, so it’s best to serve them soon after assembling.
