Whipped Feta Crostini

August 6, 2013

Whipped feta. Just the name sounds exquisite. Anddddd it got a “may be the best thing you’ve ever made” from the husband. That’s a big deal, folks. This thing is worth a try. Also it has tomatoes with cheese on bread which is kind of my favorite appetizer formula. Also theres basil as well which is often part of the equation. Now that I am typing this I want to make it again. Thank you for this one, it is from Ina. And there’s a splash of lemon.

I feel all good cooks know how to use a well timed splash of lemon.

    These look delicious! I’m thinking of making these for Thanksgiving this year. How far ahead can I assemble these before the bread gets too soggy?

    Rachel! These look amazing. I love anything and everything on a crostini. I have a question. If I wanted to make a double batch and use the second half the next day, would the whipped feta be OK in the fridge? Or should I just make it twice?

    • Rachel Schultz

      Yes, it’d be fine in the fridge!
