Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Hot Honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Heat over low-medium flame for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until fragrant and warmed through. Set aside to cool.
  2. Whip Feta Mixture: In a food processor, add feta, cream cheese, and cottage cheese. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Toast Baguette Slices: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.
  4. Assemble Crostini: Spread the whipped feta mixture on each toast, sprinkle with chopped pecans, drizzle with hot honey, and garnish with torn rosemary leaves.
  5. Serve Immediately: Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy while warm, offering a side of extra red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, blend feta until smooth. Toast bread well to prevent sogginess, and store leftover feta in the fridge for up to a week.
