Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block of good quality feta cheese, packed in brine
- 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Pinch of dried oregano
- Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Drain the block of feta cheese thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel. Break the feta block into a few smaller chunks and place them into the bowl of your food processor.
- Add the softened cream cheese and full-fat Greek yogurt to the food processor with the feta. Toss in the minced fresh garlic, a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and about half of your extra virgin olive oil. If using dried herbs like oregano, add them now.
- Secure the lid on your food processor and process the mixture on high for 2-3 minutes. Stop periodically to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. If the mixture seems too thick, drizzle in a tiny bit more olive oil or a tablespoon of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the dip and adjust as necessary. Add more lemon juice, garlic, or black pepper if desired. If your feta is milder, you may add a tiny pinch of salt.
- Spoon the creamy whipped feta dip into a serving bowl. Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil over the top and garnish with fresh herbs or red pepper flakes. Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crunchy fresh vegetables, crackers, or crusty bread.
