whipped feta peach garlic bread
A seriously tasty appetizer bursting with fresh peaches atop buttery grilled garlic bread.
Ingredients
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 large peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 loaf sourdough or French baguette, or ciabatta
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- To make the whipped feta: combine the feta, cream cheese, and honey in a food processor. Blitz until very creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the peach slices to a medium sized bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, honey, 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Taste to adjust as needed. Add a couple spoonfuls to the peaches and toss gently to coat.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium, or broiler to high. Stir the butter, garlic, and remaining tablespoon of oregano. Slice your baguette into 6-8 pieces and brush the butter on the cut side. Grill or toast butter-side down (or up, under the broiler) for 2-3 minutes until golden and charred.
- Swirl the whipped feta onto each piece of bread. Arrange the peaches on top. Drizzle with extra vinaigrette and serve with fresh basil, as desired.
