Whipped Feta Dip With Warm Bread
Ingredients
- 8 ounces block feta drained and cut into chunks
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup olive oil plus more for serving
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or chives
- 1 teaspoon honey optional
- 1 loaf pita bread or 1 baguette
Instructions
- Combine feta, cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice and zest in a food processor.
- Pulse until roughly combined, scraping down the sides once.
- With the motor running, stream in the olive oil in a slow, steady pour.
- Process 1 to 2 minutes, until completely smooth and fluffy, light as frosting.
- Taste and adjust salt or lemon as needed.
- Spread into a shallow bowl and swirl the surface with the back of a spoon.
- Warm the bread in a 350F oven 5 to 7 minutes, until the outside is crisp and the inside stays soft.
- Drizzle the dip with olive oil, honey, red pepper flakes and dill, then serve with the warm bread.
Good to Know
The dip holds in the fridge up to 3 days; let it sit out 20 minutes before serving so it loosens back up.
