20-Minute Greek Bruschetta with Whipped Feta
The 20-Minute Greek Bruschetta with Whipped Feta features toasted baguette slices topped with creamy whipped feta blended with Greek yogurt, garlic, and lemon zest. The bruschetta topping combines diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and fresh herbs such as parsley, mint, and basil, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. This creates a refreshing, tangy appetizer with a balance of creamy, crisp, and savory elements.

Ingredients
Crostini
- 1 baguette sliced
- olive oil drizzle
Whipped Feta
- 8 oz. feta cheese block
- 5.3 .3 oz Greek yogurt 1 container
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon milk as needed, whole
Bruschetta Topping
- 1 ½ cups English cucumber small diced
- 1 ½ cups tomatoes diced, cherry or grape
- ½ cup red onion finely diced
- 2-3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon mint finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon basil chopped, fresh
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ lemon juiced
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- red pepper flakes optional, to taste
- feta cheese optional, for garnish, crumbled
Instructions
- Crostini: Preheat oven to 375F. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil (don’t drench them, dry areas are ok). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, as desired. Flip slices over and repeat the drizzling process. I like to swirl the slices around on the pan to soak up the extra oil that is on the pan from the drizzling process and to spread the oil evenly on the slices. Bake for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Whipped Feta: In a food processor, add the block of feta (broken up into pieces so it will fit), greek yogurt, garlic, and lemon zest. Puree until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. If you'd like it thinner, add in the milk and puree again to combine.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, tomato, onion, garlic, herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice, until combined, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread approximately 1 tablespoon (more or less to taste) whipped feta across each crostini, then top with the veggie mixture and garnish with crumbled feta. Enjoy!

Notes
- The whipped feta can be served as a dip topped with the vegetable mixture for a different presentation.
- Use vegetarian-labeled feta cheese if catering to dietary restrictions.
- Adjust milk amount in whipped feta to reach desired consistency.
- Grilled or toasted baguette slices are ideal for holding the toppings and provide a crisp base.
