Ingredients
  

8 oz feta cheese, crumbled

4 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, about half a lemon

1 clove garlic, finely minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 large cucumbers, sliced into thick rounds

4 slices of crusty bread (sourdough or ciabatta work well)

Fresh herbs for garnish (such as dill, parsley, or basil)

A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Whipped Feta Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Using an electric mixer or a food processor, whip the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet and drizzle a little olive oil over each slice for added flavor. Place in the preheated oven and toast for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until they are uniformly golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!

      Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is perfectly toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Spread a generous and even layer of the creamy whipped feta mixture over each slice, ensuring every bite will be delicious!

        Add the Cucumber: Top each slice of whipped feta toast with a couple of cucumber rounds. Feel free to layer them thickly or arrange them in a decorative pattern for extra visual appeal.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh herbs generously over the top of each toast for brightness and flavor. If you enjoy a bit of heat, add a light sprinkling of red pepper flakes. Serve the toasts immediately as a delightful appetizer or a refreshing light snack.
