01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

04 - Spread whipped feta mixture generously over the garlic-rubbed side of each crostini, creating an even layer.
05 - Drizzle hot honey over each crostini and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
06 - Serve crostini immediately while still warm and crisp.
