Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 26 servings

  • 1 baguette, sliced diagonally into 26 slices

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils

  • 1/3 cup shelled unsalted pistachios

  • fresh, snipped rosemary, plus additional rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil, and place on the prepared pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool on a rack.

  4. Meanwhile, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and red pepper flakes, in a blender or small food processor. Pulse several times, then purée until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Spread each crostini with about 1 tablespoon feta spread. Sprinkle the tops with pomegranate arils and shelled, unsalted pistachios. Add snipped rosemary, and garnish with additional rosemary stems.
