Ingredients
For the Crostini Base
- 1 loaf toasted baguette sliced
For the Whipped Feta
- 4 oz feta cheese crumbles
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 oz cottage cheese
For the Toppings
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper to taste
For the Hot Honey
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp hot sauce sriracha preferred
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the Hot Honey: Measure all ingredients for the hot honey into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts of 15-20 seconds, stirring well until it becomes syrupy and runny. Set aside for assembly.
- Blend the Cheese Mixture: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and cottage cheese. Pulse a few times to mix, then process until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape the sides as needed.
- Assemble the Crostinis: Take a spoon and spread the whipped feta generously over each toasted baguette slice. Aim for some texture with bumps and ridges to catch the hot honey later. Arrange them on a serving platter.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of each crostini and place a small sprig of fresh rosemary on each one. Drizzle the warm hot honey over all, finishing with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
- Serve Warm: Present your crostinis with any remaining hot honey on the side for guests to drizzle more as they please.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with extra rosemary for a beautiful presentation.
