Ingredients

8-ounce block of feta cheese cut into small chunks
4 ounces cream cheese softened
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or more, depending on preferences
Zest from 1 small lemon (~1 Tablespoon)
3 Tablespoons honey

Optional Garnishes:

Freshly-cracked black pepper
Finely chopped fresh herbs, chives, thyme, and/or rosemary

Instructions

Blend Ingredients: To a food processor or blender, add feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, and lemon zest.
Blend: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth. If necessary, scrape the mixture down from sides of the blender with a rubber spatula, then blend again. If you want to thin the dip out a little more, add a little more olive oil.
Transfer To Serving Dish: Use a rubber spatula to transfer whipped feta to a serving dish. Use a spoon to arrange dip around outside of the dish, leaving a hole in the middle.
Garnish: Pour honey in middle of dip, then garnish with pepper, chopped chives, fresh thyme, and/or fresh rosemary.
Serve: Serve with pita bread, crackers, vegetables, or bread.

Notes

To Make In Advance: Blend all of the ingredients together as instructed in the recipe, then transfer the dip to an airtight container. When you’re ready to serve, allow the dip to sit at room temperature for a little while to soften up, or microwave for 10-15 seconds. Then, transfer the dip to a serving dish before adding honey and optional garnishes.

Refrigerator Storage: Transfer the whipped feta dip to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir the dip before serving again. If it's too challenging to stir, transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until softened, about 15-30 seconds.
