Ingredients

For the Whipped Feta

  • 1 block (200g) Greek feta cheese, drained

  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 1–2 roasted garlic cloves (see below)

  • Salt & cracked pepper to taste

For Roasted Garlic

  • 1 garlic bulb

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Pinch of salt

Toppings & Dippers

  • 1½ tbsp honey (plus more for drizzling)

  • Chili flakes or hot honey (optional)

  • Fresh thyme or crushed pistachios (for garnish)

  • Pita chips, baguette slices, or veggies

Instructions

1) Roast the Garlic
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off a garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 30–35 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool, then squeeze out 1–2 cloves for the dip.

2) Make the Whipped Feta
In a food processor, combine feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, and roasted garlic. Blend until completely smooth and fluffy (2–3 mins). Taste and adjust seasoning.

3) Plate It
Scoop whipped feta into a shallow bowl or plate. Use the back of a spoon to create swoops.

4) Top & Serve
Drizzle generously with honey, sprinkle with chili flakes, thyme, or pistachios. Serve with warm pita chips or crisp veggies.

Pro Tips

  • Always use block feta, not crumbled—it blends creamier.

  • Make ahead: refrigerate up to 2 days; bring to room temp before serving.

  • Swap Greek yogurt for labneh for a richer texture.
