How to Make Whipped Feta & Cucumber Tartines
Prepare the Feta Mixture: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta and cream cheese. Use a hand mixer until smooth and creamy—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add Flavorful Herbs: Chop your choice of fresh herbs finely—dill or parsley work wonderfully—and fold them into the whipped feta mixture until evenly distributed.
Slice the Baguette: Cut your baguette into 1/2-inch slices. If you’re feeling fancy, toast them lightly in a pan until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side will do.
Prepare the Cucumbers: Slice fresh cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife. Aim for uniformity so they stack nicely on top of your tartines—a mandoline can help here if you have one!
Assemble Your Tartines: Spread a generous layer of whipped feta onto each baguette slice. Top with cucumber slices, arranging them artfully—your Instagram followers will thank you later.
Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle olive oil over assembled tartines and sprinkle with additional herbs if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy at their freshest!
