Whipped Feta Naan Bread Crostini

Creamy whipped feta dip over buttery naan crostini and topped with juicy tomatoes and fresh herbs

The whipped feta dip is so incredibly delicious. I made it for a dinner party the other day, and it was gone before I could dig in. So, the next day I consoled myself by making an extra batch of it all for myself! Worth it! It’s salty, herby, cheesy and creamy. Could it sound any better? Hmmm…the word “bacon” might have helped, but I’m trying to keep this recipe semi-healthy. The bacon will have to wait. Or maybe you’ll add it and then make me jealous by telling me how delicious it was. I’m OK with that :):)

I baked the naan bread beforehand in the oven, because who doesn’t like warm, buttery naan!? It practically melts in your mouth and the cheese dip oozes over the sides as you eat it. I could eat the naan bread just on its own, but it’s really even better with the feta and tomatoes (obviously!!).
I’m so happy it’s finally tomato season! Yay! We just planted our cherry tomato plant and I’m getting impatient while it still grows, so for now I’m at the grocery store but at least the tomato aisle got a lot bigger. Double yay! I love biting into those little juicy tomatoes, it’s so satisfyingly delicious. Did I mention that we planted our garden? We have A LOT of tomato plants, mostly because my husband loves tomatoes and last year I barely got to eat them because he kept picking them off the vine and eating them before I got a chance. Sneaky!

This naan bread “crostini” would be so perfect to serve at a dinner party, or just to make all for yourself and I won’t judge – this is a safe place!! I think it would make a great lunch idea too, just pack the dip, tomatoes and naan separately so it doesn’t get too soggy. I would totally look forward to that lunch, and you KNOW I need to look forward to lunch to get through my work day!
