Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Whipped Feta Dip with Spicy Honey:

For the Dip:

  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Spicy Honey:

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley)
  • A sprinkle of chili flakes
  • A drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Whipped Feta Dip:

  1. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dip and adjust with additional lemon juice or a pinch of salt if desired.

Make the Spicy Honey:

  1. Heat the Honey: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey gently. Stir in the red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper, if using. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to infuse the honey with spice. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Assemble and Serve:

  1. Plate the Dip: Spread the whipped feta onto a serving plate or shallow bowl, creating swirls with the back of a spoon.
  2. Drizzle the Honey: Generously drizzle the spicy honey over the whipped feta, allowing it to pool slightly on the sides.
  3. Garnish: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, extra chili flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil for a decorative touch.
