HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a small blender or food processor, combine the crumbled feta cheese, aji amarillo paste, evaporated milk, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

02

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bread slices and toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.

03

Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and place on serving plates.

04

Generously spread the prepared huancaína sauce over each slice of toasted bread.

05

If desired, place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce for a fresh crunch. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. Ensure your aji amarillo paste is fresh for the best flavor. You can also lightly toast the bread in a toaster if you prefer.

Easy Substitutions

If aji amarillo paste is unavailable, you can use a combination of roasted yellow bell pepper and a tiny amount of habanero for heat, though the flavor will differ. Ricotta salata can be used instead of feta for a milder, saltier cheese profile. Any sturdy bread works well.

Storage & Reheating

The huancaína sauce can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store toasted bread separately. Reheat toast briefly in a toaster or skillet before spreading the sauce.
