I made these Whipped Feta and Cranberry Crostini's a few months back while working with a brand who had sent me some dishware and just had to add them to my 'So You're Having a Holiday Party?' E-Book! They are so fun and gloriously tart and delicious! There are few tastes like the combination of feta and cranberry! I hope you enjoy!

How to Prepare the Whipped Feta and Cranberry Crostini:
- In a pot over medium-high heat, combine the fresh cranberries, orange juice, maple
syrup and nutmeg. Gently heat until the cranberries start to burst. Remove from heat
once ¼ of them have burst. - Add the feta, Greek yogurt, vanilla, crushed red pepper, and olive oil to a food
processor and blend until smooth and whipped. - Drizzle the crostini slices with a little more olive oil and broil in the oven until lightly
toasted. - Top each crostini slice with a dollop of whipped feta and a spoonful of the spiced
cranberries. - Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Storage:
I recommend storing the ingredients for these separately if you are preparing ahead of time or storing for leftovers.
Store the whipped feta in one airtight container for 3 - 4 days and the cranberries in another. The cranberries will keep up to 1 week.
