Whipped Feta with Cranberries 

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces crusty whole-wheat baguette, thinly sliced on the bias 
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (6-ounce) package feta cheese in brine, drained and crumbled (1½ cups)
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup canned whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cold water
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (see Tip)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • Flaky sea salt (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush both sides of baguette slices with melted butter; place in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add feta, cream cheese, oil and garlic to a food processor; process until a smooth whipped dip forms, 2 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  3. Whisk cranberry sauce and water together in a small bowl until smooth; spoon over the feta. Sprinkle with walnuts, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with rosemary. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with the crostini.
