Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225 grams) block-style feta cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
- Optional: lemon zest
- Optional: fresh thyme or oregano
- Optional: crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cut the block of feta into 1-inch chunks to help it blend easier.
- Place the feta chunks into a food processor. Pulse a few times to break it up, then blend continuously for about 30 seconds until creamy but not fully smooth.
- With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of extra virgin olive oil. Blend for another 30 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey and pulse a few times to mix it in, maintaining the dip’s airy feel. Taste and add more honey or olive oil if desired.
- Blend for a final 15 seconds until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.
- Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Drizzle extra honey and olive oil on top and garnish with fresh thyme leaves or cracked black pepper if desired.
- If the dip is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or olive oil at a time and blend to loosen. If too runny, add more feta chunks and pulse briefly.
Notes
Use cold feta for better whipping. Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor. Pulse rather than overblend to avoid a runny dip. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving. Can freeze for up to 1 month.
