Heirloom Tomato Toast with Whipped Feta & Hot Honey

Serves 4 · 15 min prep · 10 min cook

Ingredients

• 8 thick slices crusty sourdough bread
• 1.5 lb heirloom tomatoes
• 8 oz feta cheese
• 1/3 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
• 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 Tbsp hot honey
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 tsp flaky sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 garlic clove

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer and toast until the edges are deep golden and the centers are crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once halfway.
2. 2While the bread toasts, crumble the feta into a food processor. Add the Greek yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil, then blend until completely smooth and fluffy, scraping the bowl once. Taste and adjust with black pepper.
3. 3Rub one side of each warm toast lightly with the cut side of the garlic clove so it picks up aroma without overpowering.
4. 4Spread a generous layer of the whipped feta over the garlicky side of every toast, going all the way to the edges.
5. 5Core and slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds or half-moons, aiming for pieces that will sit flat on the toast.
6. 6Shingle the tomato slices over the feta, overlapping slightly so every bite has tomato. Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly across the tops.
7. 7Scatter torn basil leaves over the tomatoes, then finish with flaky sea salt, several grinds of black pepper, and a zigzag of hot honey.
8. 8Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the tomatoes are juicy; pack extras with the honey on the side so the bread stays crisp for a work lunch.
