A quick and easy appetizer featuring whipped feta and cream cheese spread on toasted baguette slices, drizzled with honey and topped with crunchy pistachios. Perfect for entertaining or a fancy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
  • 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, for brushing bread
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
  2. Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool.
  3. While the bread toasts, toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking often until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove from heat and roughly chop once cool.
  4. In a food processor, combine crumbled feta and softened cream cheese. Add 1 tablespoon honey and lemon juice if using. Pulse until smooth and creamy, scraping sides as needed.
  5. Taste and add black pepper or more honey if desired.
  6. Spread a generous dollop of whipped feta on each crostini slice.
  7. Drizzle with remaining honey and sprinkle with toasted pistachios.
  8. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending. Soak feta briefly in water if too salty or dry. Toast pistachios for best flavor and crunch. Brush bread with olive oil before toasting. Drizzle honey just before serving to keep crostini crisp. Whipped feta spread can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
