Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
Whipped Feta
- 6 oz block feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk (to adjust consistency)
Toast and Toppings
- 4 thick slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or softened butter, for brushing
- 3 tablespoons hot honey, plus more for serving
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Flaky sea salt, for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish. Add olive oil, sliced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender, blistered, and beginning to burst. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Add the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and small garlic clove to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 tablespoon of whole milk and blend again. Add the remaining milk gradually if needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Brush both sides of the sourdough slices with olive oil or softened butter. Toast in a skillet or on a baking sheet until golden and crisp.
- Spread a generous layer of whipped feta over each slice of toasted sourdough.
- Spoon the roasted cherry tomatoes and some of their flavorful juices over the whipped feta.
- Drizzle each toast with hot honey, adding more to taste.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thick-cut sourdough or another sturdy rustic bread to help hold the toppings.
- Prepare the whipped feta and roasted tomatoes ahead of time, then toast and assemble just before serving.
- Add the milk gradually to the whipped feta and adjust the hot honey to your preferred sweetness and spice level.
