Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces feta cheese (crumbled from a block)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 small clove garlic (minced or grated)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- A pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes until soft. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
- Add the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper into a food processor.
- Pulse a few times to roughly mix, then run the processor continuously. Stop halfway to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
- Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, resembling thick frosting. Add a teaspoon of olive oil if too thick, or more feta if too runny.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or honey if needed.
- Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and create swirls on top with the back of a spoon.
- Drizzle generously with honey and optionally add a crack of black pepper or red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
For best texture, ensure ingredients are at room temperature before blending. Do not use pre-crumbled feta as the potato starch coating can make the dip grainy. Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor. Do not freeze, as the dairy will separate. Best consumed within 3-4 days.
