Whipped Feta Dip with Lemon and Thyme
This savory and creamy whipped feta dip is perfect any time of year and can be made in a short time to enjoy for a party or family gathering.
Ingredients
- 16 oz Feta cheese block
- 3/4 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 small clove of garlic
- 3/4 cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place the garlic in a food processor and pulse.
- Add cream cheese, feta, olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Pulse until smooth. You may want to do this in two batches if you find the feta is not blending.
- Add the lemon zest, thyme, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and pulse again.
- Pour dip into a serving bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle additional thyme leaves on top.
- Serve with pita, bread rounds and cut up vegetables.
Notes
If you want to make this ahead don't add the drizzle of olive oil. The cheeses will harden in the refrigerator so you may want to throw it back into the food processor or blender to whip it again before serving.
