Ingredients
- 6 oz feta cheese
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat and toast baguette: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp.
- Blend cheeses: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine feta and cream cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add lemon juice or garlic powder if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm honey mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and red pepper flakes for 2–3 minutes without boiling. Let it cool slightly.
- Assemble crostini: Spread a thick layer of whipped feta on each toasted slice.
- Drizzle honey: Drizzle generously with hot honey.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped herbs and an extra pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- The lemon juice and garlic powder are optional to customize flavor.
- Do not boil the honey and red pepper flakes to preserve flavor.
- Serve immediately after assembling to keep crostini crisp.
