Whipped Feta and Roasted Tomatoes

This is a perfect appetizer in any season. Roasting tomatoes elevates the flavour and served warm over the whipped Feta is brilliant. Do take the time to press the Feta or the spread will be too briny.

      3. Meanwhile, prepare feta at least 1 hour prior to serving.
      4. *Wrap feta in a thick tea towel and place on a plate. Then take at least 8 more plates and stack on top. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour to remove some of the brine from the feta.
      5. Crumble feta and place in a small food processor to rice the feta.
      6. Remove feta to a dish and add cream. With a fork stir feta until creamy and smooth.
      7. Depending on the Feta you may need 8 TBSP cream vs 6.

      8. Feta can be refrigerated at this point or spread in a shallow dish and top with roasted tomatoes.
      9. Serve with crostini or grilled baguette. It’s best if the bread is somewhat toasted.
