Whipped Feta With Hot Honey
Ingredients
- 8 oz block feta drained
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- flaky salt
- pita bread warmed and cut into wedges
Instructions
- Combine the feta, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor.
- Blend for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides once, until the mixture is completely smooth and lightened in color.
- Spread the whipped cheese into a shallow bowl and swirl the top with the back of a spoon so it holds pockets for the honey.
- Warm the hot honey in the microwave for 15 seconds, just until it pours easily off a spoon.
- Drizzle the warm honey over the whipped cheese and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and flaky salt.
- Let the dip sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the honey settles into the swirls before serving.
- Serve with warm pita wedges.
Good to Know
Swap the hot honey for plain honey plus a pinch more red pepper flakes if the jar in the pantry is not spicy.
