# What You’ll Need to Cook:

01 - 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
02 - 2 teaspoons honey
03 - 900 grams whole frozen strawberries
04 - 3 tablespoons fresh basil, finely diced
05 - Flaky salt, to taste

→ Toast

06 - 6 slices sourdough bread, toasted

→ Whipped Feta

07 - 225 grams feta cheese
08 - 60 millilitres Greek yogurt
09 - Juice of 1/2 lemon
10 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Arrange frozen strawberries in a single layer in a 23 x 33 cm baking dish.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey. Pour mixture over strawberries and toss to fully coat.
03 - Roast strawberries for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and juices are released.
04 - Remove from oven and allow strawberries to cool for 5-10 minutes. Transfer with juices to a container and chill in the refrigerator until the liquid thickens.
05 - Place feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Blend on high, drizzling olive oil in slowly, until mixture is smooth and whipped.
06 - Refrigerate whipped feta for 5-10 minutes before use.
07 - Spread whipped feta over toasted sourdough slices. Top with chilled roasted strawberries, sprinkle with fresh basil, and finish with flaky salt.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - Fresh strawberries may be substituted; roast them at 175°C and consider slicing in half before roasting.
02 - Store leftover whipped feta in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
