How to Make Whipped Feta & Hot Honey Crostinis

  • 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 until the mixture is syrupy and runny. Stir well after each burst, then set aside.
  • Blend the Feta Spread: In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and cottage cheese. Pulse several times to mix, then process until smooth and creamy. Remember to pause and scrape the sides for even blending.
  • Spread the Feta Mixture: Use a spoon to generously spread the whipped feta atop each toasted baguette slice. Don’t worry about making it perfect; aim for some bumps and ridges to hold that hot honey.
  • Arrange the Crostinis: Lay the assembled crostinis in a single layer on a beautiful serving tray. This not only looks great but also makes serving easy!
  • Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the crostinis and place a small sprig of fresh rosemary on each. Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the top, finishing with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Present your crostinis alongside any remaining hot honey for an extra sweet touch.

Notes

For best texture, serve the crostinis immediately after assembling. Store leftover whipped feta and hot honey separately to maintain freshness.
