A quick and easy creamy whipped feta dip with a sweet honey and spicy hot honey drizzle, perfect for entertaining or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey
  • Hot honey for drizzle (or honey mixed with a pinch of chili flakes)
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for garnish (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Crumble 8 ounces of feta cheese into small pieces. Mince 1 small garlic clove finely, and squeeze the juice from half a lemon (about 1 tablespoon).
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the crumbled feta and 1/2 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt. Pulse and then blend on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Blend briefly to incorporate.
  4. Taste the dip and add a pinch of salt if needed. If too thick, blend in a teaspoon or two of water or more yogurt to reach desired consistency.
  5. Spoon the whipped feta dip into a shallow bowl or plate, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the surface, followed by a thinner drizzle of hot honey. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  7. Let the dip rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Let the dip rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to mellow flavors and soften texture. If making ahead, refrigerate up to 24 hours and bring to room temperature before serving. Adjust hot honey drizzle to taste to avoid overpowering heat.
