Instructions

1. Prepare the Feta Cream: Start by cutting the feta cheese into small cubes. Place the cubes into a high glass or bowl, and add the heavy cream. Blend or mash them together to form a creamy mixture.

2. Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the slices of bacon and cook them until they become crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, chop the bacon into small pieces, roughly 2 cm in size, and set aside.

3. Prepare the Chives: Take the fresh chives and chop them finely. These will be used to garnish the crostini.

4. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the core, and slice them into 1 cm thick wedges. These apple slices will form the base of the crostini.

5. Cook the Apple Slices: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan. Add the apple slices and cook them on medium heat. The goal is to soften them slightly while keeping their crisp texture intact, so don’t overcook them. Once done, remove from heat.

6. Assemble the Crostini: Now it’s time to build the crostini! Take a slice of apple, add a piece of crispy bacon on top, and then add a small dollop of the feta cream.

7. Garnish: Sprinkle finely chopped chives on top for a fresh, aromatic touch. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

8. Serve: Arrange the apple crostini on a serving platter. These delightful bites are perfect as an appetizer for any occasion!

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can also drizzle a small amount of honey on top before serving for a sweet and savory contrast.
• Make sure the apple slices remain slightly firm to maintain their texture. If you prefer them softer, cook them a bit longer but avoid making them too mushy.

Enjoy this combination of crispy apples, salty bacon, and creamy feta in every bite!
