Whipped Feta Cheese, Honey, and Roasted Grapes on Toasted Baguette Slices
A savory-sweet appetizer featuring creamy whipped feta blended with honey and ARLO culinary argan oil, topped with caramelized roasted grapes and served on crispy toasted baguette slices for a rich and elegant bite.
Place the halved grapes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of ARLO culinary argan oil. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the grapes are soft and slightly caramelized.
2. Prepare the Whipped Feta:
In a food processor or blender, combine the crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add 1 tablespoon of ARLO culinary argan oil to thin it out and make it extra creamy.
3. Toast the Baguette:
While the grapes are roasting, toast the baguette slices in a toaster or on a skillet with a drizzle of ARLO culinary argan oil, to make them crispy and golden brown.
4. Assemble the Toast:
Spread a generous amount of the whipped feta mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
5. Top with Roasted Grapes:
Once the grapes are roasted, place a few grapes on top of each toast.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Drizzle the toasts with a little extra honey and garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
