From the Journal | WHIPPED FETA, ROASTED TOMATOES AND OREGANO CROSTINI

rose & ivy journal whipped ricotta and tomato crostini

I simply adore feta cheese.  It's tangy and creamy flavor compliments a variety of foods.  A trip to Greece allowed me to sample their staple in many different forms.  This crostini recipe from 'A Perfect Bite' for Whipped Feta, Roasted Tomatoes and Oregano is a delicious bite for a snack or to serve as an appetizer.  For more delicious crostini recipe, check out the feature in the latest issue of ROSE & IVY Journal.
