Crostini

  • 1 Baguette
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove whole with 1/4 sliced off
  • 3 oz of arugula
  • 1/2 lemon juiced, about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Meanwhile, add feta to a food processor and blend quickly to break it down. Then add the cream cheese and blend until creamy.
  • Mix arugula with remaining olive oil in dish, add the juice from half a lemon and mix. Add about a 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of salt to taste to arugula and a few grinds of a pepper mill. Mix well.

  • Top crostini with a layer of whipped feta and then a few sprigs of arugula.
  • Enjoy!
