Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing bread
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange baguette slices; brush lightly with olive oil.
  2. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until edges are golden and centers remain slightly tender. Set aside.
  3. In a food processor, blend feta, Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon zest until very smooth. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. In a bowl, toss diced cherry tomatoes with chopped basil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
  5. Spread a generous layer of whipped feta over each warm toast.
  6. Spoon tomato basil mixture on top. Drizzle with honey if using.
  7. Serve immediately on a platter while the toasts are crisp.

Notes

  • Let feta and yogurt come to room temperature for a silkier whip.
  • Rub warm toasts with a cut garlic clove for extra aroma.
  • Top just before serving to keep the bread crisp.
  • Note: The whipped feta can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container.
