Crostini de aceitunas variadas y feta batido

Ingredientes

• 1 French Baguette, sliced
• 1 jar Mezzetta Artisan Olives
• 1 jar Mezzetta Jalapeno Stuffed Olives
• 1 jar Mezzetta Garlic Stuffed Olives
• 4 oz feta cheese
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• Fresh basil, to garnish
• Arugula, to garnish

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare the cheese spread: In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese and softened cream cheese. Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring all lumps are removed for a perfect spreadable texture.

2. 2

   Prepare the crostini base: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the sliced French baguette pieces on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.

3. 3

   Assemble the crostini: Once toasted, spread a generous layer of the whipped feta mixture onto each baguette slice. Next, top with a generous spoonful of mixed Mezzetta Artisan Olives, Jalapeno Stuffed Olives, and Garlic Stuffed Olives for a burst of flavor.

4. 4

   Garnish and serve: Finish each crostini with fresh basil leaves and a few arugula leaves to add freshness and a hint of peppery spice. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy cheese and crunchy bread with savory olives.
