Cheesy Cranberry Crostini-The Little Shop of Olive Oils

If the holidays had a flavor, this might be it.
Our Cranberry Orange Crostini with Feta & Rosemary combines tangy cranberries, bright citrus, creamy feta, and a drizzle of Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the perfect festive bite.

Each crostini starts with golden baguette slices brushed with EVOO, then topped with a homemade cranberry-orange compote that’s both sweet and tart. A crumble of salty feta and a hint of rosemary make it feel instantly seasonal — the kind of elegant, make-ahead appetizer that always gets compliments.

Serve these at your next holiday gathering or pair them with sparkling wine for an afternoon nibble. They look gorgeous on a platter and taste even better than they look — crisp, creamy, and bursting with holiday flavor.

Ingredients

For the Cranberry Compote:
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
½ cup sugar or Franklin Raw Honey
½ cup water
Zest and juice of 1 orange
For the Crostini:
1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick slices
Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for brushing
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar (or honey), water, and orange zest and juice.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and let cool — it will thicken as it sits.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
Once the crostini have cooled slightly, spoon a layer of cranberry compote onto each slice.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and top with a small sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive finish.
Arrange on a platter and serve while the bread is still crisp.
