Print Recipe

A quick and easy brunch recipe featuring fluffy whipped feta cheese paired with sweet, caramelized roasted tomatoes served on crunchy rustic toast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) block feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups (about 300 grams) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (oregano, thyme, basil), chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices rustic or sourdough bread, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the tomatoes for about 20 minutes until softened, slightly wrinkled, and caramelized around the edges.
  4. While the tomatoes roast, combine crumbled feta cheese, heavy cream, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add more cream if needed for spreadable consistency. Season with pepper to taste.
  5. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. Drizzle with a little olive oil while warm.
  6. Spread a generous layer of whipped feta on each toast slice. Top with roasted tomatoes and drizzle with pan juices.
  7. Garnish with extra fresh herbs or cracked black pepper if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

If whipped feta feels too dry, add a splash of olive oil while blending for silkiness. Spread tomatoes in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Toast bread just before serving to keep it crisp. For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use plant-based cream cheese instead of feta.
