Introduction

There’s something about a platter of whipped feta and roast tomato toasts that instantly makes a gathering feel special. I love making these at home or when we’re away on holiday — they’re simple, rely on everyday ingredients, and never fail to impress. When you’re staying somewhere off-grid or a few unexpected visitors drop by, this is exactly the kind of appetiser that saves you. With just a handful of staples — a bit of bread, some feta, a spoonful of Greek yoghurt, and a punnet of cherry tomatoes — you can whip up something that looks elegant and tastes incredible.

The creamy, tangy feta spread, juicy blistered cherry tomatoes, and garlicky crisp baguette come together in that effortless, sun-drenched way that feels a little Mediterranean. They’re ready in under 20 minutes, making them perfect for summer holidays, last-minute entertaining, or those lazy evenings when you still want something that feels special.

No baguette? Use whatever bread you’ve got, or even sturdy crackers. No yoghurt? Loosen the feta with a little milk, lemon juice, or extra olive oil — it’s a forgiving recipe.

If you love easy appetiser recipes, Mediterranean flavours, or quick summer snacks, this one’s going straight to your favourites list.

  2. Slice a baguette into 2 cm rounds and arrange on a tray.
  3. Grill each side until golden and crisp.
  4. While still warm, rub the cut side of a raw garlic clove over the toasts for a subtle garlicky flavour.

 

Roast the Tomatoes

  1. Switch the oven to bake mode at 200 °C (400 °F) .(see tip 3)
  2. On a lined tray, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, sliced garlic, oregano, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Roast for about 10 minutes, until blistered and juicy.

 

Assemble the Toasts

Tips

  1. No blender? Bring the feta to room temperature. On a chopping board, use a fork to mash it, then use the flat side of a large knife to scrape it into a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy. Make the whipped feta ahead and keep it chilled for up to 3 days.
  2. You can also toast the bread on a BBQ grill plate or in a pan if you’re off-grid or at the bach.
  3. If you don’t have an oven, sauté the tomatoes in a frying pan over medium heat until they burst and release their juices.
  4. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
  5. Swap out tomatoes for roasted red peppers or olives.
