For Whipped Feta
- Feta Cheese – Use a high-quality block of feta for the best texture and flavor. Crumbled feta works too but won’t be as creamy.
- Greek Yogurt – Adds extra creaminess and a slight tang. You can use 0%, 2%, or full-fat.
- Garlic – Freshly minced garlic gives a bold, savory kick.
- Olive Oil – Helps smooth out the feta and adds richness.
For Topping
- Honey (or Hot Honey) – The perfect balance of sweetness to complement the tangy feta.
- Chives – Fresh, chopped chives add a pop of color and a mild oniony flavor.
- Black Pepper – A touch of freshly cracked black pepper enhances the overall flavor.
- Optional Garnishes – Try pine nuts, crushed pistachios, or red pepper flakes for extra crunch and heat.

- Can I use crumbled feta instead of a block?
Yes! Crumbled feta works, but using a block gives a smoother, creamier texture. If you only have crumbled feta, blend a little longer for the best results. - Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Whip up the feta dip and store it in the fridge for up to a day. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving for the best texture. - How do I get the creamiest consistency?
Blend the feta and yogurt for at least 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. A high-powered blender or food processor works best! - What should I serve with whipped feta?
This dip pairs perfectly with warm pita, crunchy crackers, fresh veggies, or even toasted crostini. Feeling adventurous? Try it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps! - How long does it last, and how do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Before serving again, give it a quick stir to refresh the texture.
