Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the tangy feta, crunchy pistachios, and sweet balsamic combo; some found it needed more balance or sweetness.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to assemble, though some struggled with keeping toppings on the small bread slices.
- Suggestions: Consider adding honey, tomatoes, or prosciutto for more depth; toast pistachios and use a creamier cheese like goat or ricotta.
- Leftovers: Best eaten fresh out of the oven; doesn't keep well and can get dry or messy if not consumed immediately.
- Portions: Several felt the bread was too small for the amount of toppings; some wished for larger or additional baguettes.
Reviews from our home cooks
We were pleasantly surprised with this. Normally, none of us would have tried it if it was on a restaurant menu, but decided to give it a try anyway. Absolutely delicious! The balsamic glaze was the perfect balance for the feta cheese and the pistachios added a lovely little crunch.
Holy CRAP these were delicious!!! I could eat these every day!! The tang of the feta with the nuttiness of the pistachio and then the balsamic glaze?? WOWZA
Easy and quick to make. Satisfying! Feta is an overpowering choice ...perhaps something a little tamer like a creamy goat cheese or ricotta may allow the pistachio and balsamic flavors to shine?
My favorite crostini I've tried so far. The balsamic goes really well with the feta and pistachio.
Good but we felt like you could increase the size of the baguette and still have plenty of toppings. We like balsamic vinegar but this was a bit too sweet & heavy and also hard to get it on the crostini evenly. Maybe slightly thinner/less sweet for drizzling?
The feta doesn't really melt so the chopped nuts didn't stay on well. That was the only downside, flavor was amazing.
Loved the flavors. Balsamic reduction would have been nice because it was so liquid, it was hard to keep on the bread and not have it just ooz all over the plate. Delicious tho!
I used to dislike balsamic but after having this I realized I just needed to try different kinds. I've since fell in love with a strawberry balsamic and have been making a similar recipe to this!
These were very tasty. We used half of the ingredients except the pistachios we used all.
I wiped my feta with goat cheese in the magic bullet with a splash of heavy cream, and it was divine
