- French baguette cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices (12 ounces; about 24 slices total)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional) (about 2 cloves)
- 6 ounces feta cheese
- 1 1/4 teaspoons milk or cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps
Place a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on the sheet, then brush the baguette tops with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven, flip the crostini over, and continue baking until lightly golden, about 5 to 6 additional minutes. Let cool.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, whip the feta for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, milk or cream, and black pepper.
Whip again until creamy and fully combined, about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as needed.
To assemble the crostini: spread each baguette slice with whipped feta. Add any toppings and season with a pinch of additional salt or pepper to taste. Enjoy
