Whipped feta

• Feta cheese: First up is the feta! Use one 8 oz block of your choice — any brand is fine.
• Greek yogurt: Next, 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt will help the feta reach the correct consistency.
• Lemon juice: Add a bit of a tangy flavor by including 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
• Olive oil: 3 tbsp of olive oil is needed for texture and flavor.
• Salt & Pepper: Lastly, add the final touch with 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper.

Toppings

• Olive oil: The first ingredient for the toppings will be 2 tbsp of olive oil.
• Scallions: Then, add extra flavor with 1 bunch of chopped scallions (be sure to discard the stringy tops).
• Garlic: 3 cloves of minced garlic makes all of the difference!
• Almonds: 1/2 cup of almonds add a nice crunch. Be sure to crush them up before adding to the feta.

Tools needed to make this recipe

The kitchen tools needed for this feta dip recipe are comprised of only four items: a food processor, spatula, saucepan, and a serving bowl. You will also need 1/2 tsp, 1 tbsp, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/2 cup-sized measuring cups.

How to make whipped feta with hot honey

Grab your food processor, and let’s get started! Here’s how to make hot honey feta dip:

To begin, add the feta, yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil to a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides as needed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add the salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Then, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the scallions are browned. Turn off the heat and set the scallions aside.

Pour the whipped feta into a serving bowl. Top with the scallions and garlic and any remaining oil.

Add the almonds and red pepper flakes and drizzle with hot honey.

Serve with crostini.

How to serve whipped feta

Hot honey feta dip can be served in a number of ways. I recommend crostini — the dip tastes phenomenal alongside the crunch of the bread! However, you can also enjoy feta dip in all of its glory atop pita bread, pita chips, or veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers. Optionally top with an additional something by adding toasted sesame seeds!

Storage

Whipped feta with hot honey should stay nice and fresh for around 3 days in the refrigerator. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness!
