Ingredients
  

For the Crostini Base
  • 1 baguette Baguette A crusty baguette is ideal for that perfect toastiness and crunch.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds a golden finish and enhances flavor while baking.
For the Whipped Feta
  • 8 ounces Feta Cheese The star of the dish, offering a creamy, tangy flavor; goat cheese can be a substitute.

For the Sweetness and Heat
  • 3 tablespoons Honey Sweetness meets subtle spice; mix with cayenne for a homemade hot honey.
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Infuses just the right amount of heat; adjust to suit your spice preference.
