Cranberry Orange Crostini with Feta & Rosemary

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.

Cranberry Orange Crostini with Feta & Rosemary

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

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar (or honey), water, and orange zest and juice.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool — it will thicken as it sits.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  5. Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
  6. Once the crostini have cooled slightly, spoon a layer of cranberry compote onto each slice.
  7. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and top with a small sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive finish.
  8. Arrange on a platter and serve while the bread is still crisp.
