Whip it Good (Whipped Feta and Peach Crostini)

Roasted or grilled peaches, and feta on a toasted crostini.  Yum!

Whip it- Whip it good.  It’s almost impossible not to sing those words – best known to most as an
unforgettable Devo classic.

The fact is, the word “whip” has never had many positive connotations, other than Devo’s memorable anthem.  Unless we’re talking about whipping in the culinary sense – where we whip delicious heavy cream or, even better, scrumptiously savory soft
cheese.

In this case, sharp, tangy Feta is whipped into a delectable frenzy of flavor, with Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon, and red pepper flakes. Next, it’s layered atop buttery, lightly toasted focaccia bread, and crowned with peaches that have been sweetly caramelized by roasting or grilling. A final drizzle of rich, dark balsamic vinegar glaze, and a dusting of crunchy pine nuts & fragrant rosemary really make this
appetizer SING!

Talk about whipping up something good!
