Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 Fresh red chili
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have around 18-20 slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the bread is golden and crispy. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a fork to mash the feta into a smooth, creamy consistency.
Finely dice the fresh red chili and chop the parsley. Add the chili, honey, lemon juice, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper to the feta mixture. Mix well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Spread a generous amount of the feta chile mixture on each crostini just before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a thin slice of chili if desired for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
