Ingredients:

For the hot honey:

½ cup honey

½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar

½ tablespoon hot sauce (Sriracha sauce or similar)

1½ teaspoons garlic, minced

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

For the whipped feta crostini:

To assemble:

24 toasted baguette slices, bagel chips or crackers

½ cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Method:

For the hot honey:

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

For the whipped feta crostini:

While the hot honey is cooling, prepare the whipped feta by combining feta cheese crumbles, cream cheese and cottage cheese in the bowl of a food processor.

Pulse to combine, and then blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape the sides, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl.

To assemble:

Spoon whipped feta onto each baguette slice. Arrange in a single layer on a serving platter.

Sprinkle with chopped pecans and fresh rosemary.

Drizzle your whipped feta crostini with hot honey and serve.

Time-saving tip: Prepare whipped feta and hot honey the day prior to your gathering. Store hot honey in a sealed container, at room temperature, and store whipped feta in the refrigerator.
