Whipped Feta with Honey Dip

Whipped Feta with Honey Dip

Whipped Feta with Honey Dip is a creamy, tangy, and sweet spread made by whipping crumbly feta cheese with Greek yogurt or cream cheese, then drizzling with golden honey. This quick and versatile appetizer balances the saltiness of feta with the natural sweetness of honey and bright lemon juice, making it perfect for snacks, parties, or light meals. It’s easy to customize with herbs, nuts, or spices to suit your preferences.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g good-quality crumbly feta cheese, crumbled and softened to room temperature
  • 100g Greek yogurt or cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of black pepper

Optional Add-ins and Garnishes

  • Fresh herbs such as mint, thyme, oregano, dill, or basil (to taste)
  • Toasted walnuts or pistachios (for crunch)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or smoked paprika (for a spicy kick)
  • Lemon or orange zest (for extra citrus aroma)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crumble and soften the feta

    Start by crumbling your feta cheese into a mixing bowl and allowing it to come to room temperature; this ensures it whips smoothly without lumps.

  2. Step 2: Add the creamy base

    Add Greek yogurt or cream cheese to the bowl to provide smoothness and balance, mellowing out the feta’s saltiness while creating a luscious texture.

  3. Step 3: Blend until fluffy

    Using a hand mixer or food processor, whip the feta and creamy base together until light and airy, about 2 to 3 minutes, to obtain a dreamy, spreadable consistency.

  4. Step 4: Mix in flavor enhancers

    Fold in freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper to brighten the dip and beautifully tie all flavors together.

  5. Step 5: Drizzle honey on top

    Transfer the whipped feta mixture into a serving dish and drizzle a generous amount of honey over the surface for the perfect finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use room temperature feta and cream cheese for easier blending and fluffier texture.
  • Choose quality feta cheese for optimal flavor and creaminess.
  • Drizzle honey on top just before serving to preserve its texture and sweetness.
  • Do not over-whip to avoid grainy texture or breaking the cheese.
  • Adjust honey quantity to balance sweetness with feta’s tanginess.
