Whipped Feta Crostini Quick Appetizer Recipe Wellplated Com

I’ve been making this easy appetizer recipe since I was a new-ish college grad with minimal culinary skill and maximum desire to make friends. I discovered quickly that having people over to your house for appetizers and Mulled Wine fast-tracked friendship. While I have expanded my appetizer game to include impressive crowd-pleasers like Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms and Spinach Puffs, I still love to make this crostini recipe. It brings me tender memories, is a snap to make, and hits the spot with guests every single time. We never have any crostini leftover!

A delightful combination of crispy French bread and creamy feta cheese, whipped feta crostini takes literally five minutes to prepare and is endlessly adaptable.The saltiness of the whipped feta tastes fabulous against the olive oil-brushed and toasted baguette pieces.

You can spread it and stop. Your guests will love whipped feta crostini just as it is. But perhaps you want love AND undying affection. Perhaps you want a sneaky way to make one appetizer look like six different appetizers. Whipped feta crostini is your answer!

How to Make Whipped Feta Crostini

While I won’t ever pass up the opportunity to enjoy some Pumpkin Goat Cheese Crostini or Crab Artichoke Toasts, this recipe with whipped feta is the most versatile.

The Ingredients

French Baguette. Once sliced, a French baguette creates perfectly-sized pieces for making crostini. They soak up the olive oil famously and become addictively crisp.

Olive Oil. Helps the bread crisp and adds wonderful flavor. Feta. If you’ve had my Spring Pea Crostini with Feta and Dill before, you know that feta and crostini are meat to be. The feta is a fantastic creamy and salty counterpart to the crunchy, toasted bread slices. Milk or Cream. Whipping a little milk or cream in with the feta helps create a tantalizing texture and richness.

The Directions

Storage Tips

To Store. Store leftover crostini at room temperature in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days. Refrigerate any leftover whipped feta mixture in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days. To Freeze. You can freeze crostini. Freeze leftover crostini in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Thaw and enjoy as desired.

Recommended Tools to Make this Recipe

Food Processor. Ideal for whipping the feta.Baking Sheet. An easy way to toast the crostini. Basting Brush. My go-to for brushing oil on pans and crostini.
