The Simple Yet Elegant Hors D'oeuvres Ina Garten Loves

One of chef Ina Garten’s favorite appetizers is an easy yet refreshing tomato crostini with whipped feta, which she featured on the cover of "Barefoot Contessa Foolproof."
For her whipped feta, Ina Garten combines feta with cream cheese in a food processor and adds olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
She then dices heirloom tomatoes and marinates them for 10 minutes in a dressing of olive oil, shallots, garlic, vinegar, salt, and pepper, then sprinkles them with basil.
After spreading the feta mixture on diagonal toasted slices of a baguette and heaps on the tomatoes, she finishes it all
with more basil and pine nuts.
