  • 3 oz (6 tbsp.) Cream Cheese, softened
  • Tomato Salad
  • 2 cups Cherry and/or Grape Tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1/4 cup Roughly Chopped Green Olives
  • 1 small Shallot, minced
  • 1 tbsp. Calabrian Chilis (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Aged Balsamic Vinegar
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt
  • Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • Toast
  • Bread of Choice, toasted

Instructions

Whipped Feta

1

To whip the feta, break up an 8 ounce block of feta into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the crumbled feta several times to create a chunky, thick paste.

2

Then add 3 ounces (about 6 tablespoons) of softened cream cheese. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

3

Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Tomato Salad

4

Mix the tomato salad ingredients together in a bowl, season with kosher salt and black pepper, set aside.

Toast

5

Let the pan get hot over high heat. Then drizzle in the olive oil and reduce the heat to medium-low and lay the slice of bread in the center of the pan. Let it go slow and low, flipping as needed to develop a golden brown toast with a firm, crisp exterior.

6

Spread a good amount of the whipped feta on the toast. Then top with the tomato salad.

7

Drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with more black pepper and flaky finishing salt.

8

Then, artfully arrange several fresh basil leaves on top.
