Whipped Feta and Roasted Tomato Crostini
Recipe type: Appetizer
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 7-8 garlic cloves, skin on
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces feta, crumbled
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 7-8 basil leaves, cut into strips
  • baguette of your choice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 225.
  2. Place garlic and tomato halves cut side up on a parchment lined baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in oven for three hours.
  3. Meanwhile, add feta to a food processor. Pulse until feta is in tiny chunks. Add cream cheese and pulse until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour balsamic vinegar into a small pan. Let it reduce over very low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until liquid is reduced by about half. Transfer to a dish to cool and thicken.
  5. To assemble, spread whipped feta over a slice of baguette. Top with tomatoes and garlic, balsamic reduction, and basil.
  6. Note: must be served with good red wine.
