Ingredients
  

Whipped feta
  • 8 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Toast and toppings
  • 1 baguette, sliced diagonally
  • 8 oz fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tbsp pistachios, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, torn
  • 0.25 tsp fleur de sel

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Make the whipped feta
  1. Blend feta cheese with heavy cream, honey, and lemon juice in a food processor until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides once for an even texture. The mixture should look creamy and airy with no visible clumps.
  2. Season the whipped feta with black pepper and pulse briefly until evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust if you want more pepper.
Toast and assemble
  1. Toast the baguette slices under the broiler or in a toaster oven until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Look for browned edges and a firm, crunchy surface.
  2. Spread the whipped feta generously onto each toast so it reaches the edges. Leave a thick layer for the contrast with the strawberries.
  3. Top each toast with fresh strawberry slices in an even layer. Arrange so the strawberries are clearly visible on top of the white feta.
  4. Sprinkle chopped pistachios and torn fresh basil over the strawberries. The pistachios should add crunch and the basil should show green flecks.
  5. Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and serve immediately. The salt should be visible as tiny specks on the surface.

Notes

For the creamiest whipped feta texture, blend until the mixture turns noticeably lighter and fluffier, then scrape the processor bowl once or twice. Store leftover whipped feta covered in the fridge up to 3 days; assemble toast fresh for best crunch. Freezing is not recommended because the texture of feta and strawberries changes after thawing. If you want a lighter option, use reduced-fat feta and light cream to reduce calories while keeping the spreadable, whipped consistency.
