Notes
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat mascarpone and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. If you're gluten-free, replace the crackers with gluten-free options or skip the crunchy layer. Try using goat cheese instead of feta for a milder flavor. Remember to let the flavors develop by allowing the verrines to rest in the refrigerator! These verrines are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Always check for signs of spoilage in leftovers.
