Cook: 20 min

Serves: 6–8

Ingredients

For the whipped feta

  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

For the Romesco topping

  • ½ cup MOB Spanish Tahini Romesco Sauce

  • 1/2 cup almonds, toasted

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

For serving

  • 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven. Preheat to 375°F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.

2. Make the whipped feta. Combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth, creamy, and fluffy.

3. Bake the feta. Transfer the whipped feta into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until warmed through and lightly golden around the edges.

4. Prepare the crostini. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp..

5. Add the MOB! Remove the warm whipped feta from the oven. Spoon MOB Spanish Tahini Romesco over the top and gently swirl it throughout the feta using the back of a spoon, creating beautiful ribbons of smoky red sauce.

6. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with toasted almonds, fresh parsley, and cracked black pepper. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately with warm crostini.

Chef's Tips

  • Make ahead: Prepare the whipped feta up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

  • For the best presentation: Add the Romesco after baking to preserve its vibrant color and fresh flavor

  • Gluten-free option: Serve with gluten-free crostini or crackers.
