Notes

For the creamiest whipped feta, use a high-quality block of feta in brine rather than pre-crumbled feta. Don't be afraid to adjust the milk or cream to achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a bit more lemon juice. For an extra layer of flavor, try rubbing a clove of garlic on the toasted baguette before topping with the whipped feta. Experiment with different flavors of hot honey. You can even make your own by infusing honey with chili flakes or your favorite hot sauce. Always taste and adjust the seasoning.
