5 Ingredient Whipped Feta with Honey
This whipped feta with honey has just 5 ingredients and takes 5 minutes to make! It's creamy, fluffy, and tangy thanks to a hint of Greek yogurt and a little lemon zest. Serve this dip with bread, pita, veggies, fruit, and olives. Beyond delicious!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces feta cheese, cold (226 grams)
- 3/4 cup whole milk Greek yogurt (170 grams)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (~1 big lemon)
- 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil (14-28 milliliters)
- Honey, for drizzling
- Red pepper flakes, black pepper, & sesame seeds, for topping - optional
Equipment
- Food processor or high-powered blender
Instructions
- Add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest to the bowl of a food processor. Blend the mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl 2-3 times, until the dip is creamy and there are no big chunks of cheese.
- With the food processor running, drizzle 1 Tablespoon (14 milliliters) of olive oil into the dip. Blend for 1-2 minutes and then test the consistency - the dip should be super creamy and fluffy. If it's too thick, continue adding olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and drizzle it with honey, to taste. Sprinkle the dip with red pepper flakes, black pepper, and/or sesame seeds, if using. Serve the dip right away with bread, pita, fruit, or other dippers. Enjoy!
Notes
Pick a good-quality, softer feta cheese if you can find it. It makes the dip so much creamier! If all you can find is a harder feta cheese, it's all good, you might just have to blend for longer.
Use cold ingredients. If they're too warm, the dip can come out too loose.
You want to blend the dip until it's super fluffy and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Just don't over-blend the cheese or it'll warm up and become runny!
If you don't have a food processor, a high-powered blender will also work. You will just have to scrape down the sides of the blender more often to get any chunks of cheese.
