Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or thyme, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper into a food processor.
- Process the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and airy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
- Taste the dip and add a small pinch of salt if your feta is not very salty, though it is usually salty enough.
- Transfer the whipped feta dip to a shallow serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the top of the dip.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh dill or thyme.
- Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a savory-sweet variation, try drizzling hot honey instead of regular honey.
- You can prepare this dip up to one day ahead. Store it covered in the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
- To make this a gluten free appetizer option, serve only with vegetables or gluten free crackers.
