Notes

A quicker alternative: To make this recipe even faster and easier, consider using pita chips or crackers. Then, all you need to do is whip your feta, smear it on, too it with olives, and enjoy!

How to store: Store whipped feta and toasted crostini separately. Whipped feta will keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. Store toasted crostini at room temperature in a sealed bag or container after you allow it to cool completely. You could store assembled crostini but it will start getting soggy the longer it’s stored.
