Ingredients

Base:

• 8 oz. feta cheese (see notes)
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g, 0%, 2%, or full-fat)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp olive oil (5g)

Toppings:

• 2 Tbsp honey (or hot honey)
• 1 tsp fresh chives, chopped
• Fresh cracked black pepper
• Optional: Pine nuts, crushed pistachios, red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Transfer the whipped feta to a shallow bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
3. Drizzle honey into the well, then sprinkle with chives, black pepper, and any additional toppings of your choice.
4. Serve immediately with pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. Enjoy!

Notes

• Feta Cheese: For best results, use a high-quality block of feta. Crumbled feta works too, but block feta will yield a smoother texture.
• Fat Content: Full-fat feta provides a richer taste, but reduced-fat or fat-free options also work well.
• Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free feta and yogurt for a lactose-free version.
• Customization: Try different toppings like toasted sesame seeds, sumac, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a unique twist!
