Cherry Tomato Crostini with Whipped Feta

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the bread slices on a large rimmed baking sheet and brush the tops with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly toasted.

2. Meanwhile, combine the feta, cream cheese, remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

3. Stir together the tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

4. To assemble, spread some whipped feta over each toasted bread slices. Spoon the tomatoes over the crostini and sprinkle the basil over the top.
