Crostini de Feta y Limón

Ingredientes

• 12 slices baguette (1/2-inch thick)
• 1 clove garlic (peeled)
• 7 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
• 1/2 lemon (juice and zest (if desired, reserve some of the zest for sprinkling over the crostini at the end))
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for serving and drizzling crostini before baking)
• crushed red pepper flakes

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Arrange bread slices on baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle each slice with a teaspoon or so of olive oil. Bake 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven to cool.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, with your food processor running, drop garlic clove down chute to mince. Scrape down sides of food processor bowl. Add next 3 ingredients (feta through olive oil) and pulse until smooth and combined - the texture here is up to you. Pulse fewer times if you want to have larger chunks of feta, more times if you want a smoother consistency.

4. 4

   When bread slices have cooled, spread a generous amount of feta and lemon spread on each one and place on a serving platter. Drizzle crostini with olive oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and reserved lemon zest. Serve.
