Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Process the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and airy, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and red pepper flakes to create the hot honey drizzle.
  4. Transfer the whipped feta dip to a shallow serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.
  5. Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the top of the dip.
  6. Garnish with a light drizzle of extra olive oil and the chopped fresh herbs.
  7. Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before blending.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender, but you may need to stop and stir more often.
  • You can prepare this dip up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  • Serve this dip with warm pita chips or sliced baguettes for an impressive party snack.
