Whipped feta dip with spicy honey

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

A whipped feta dip with spicy honey. Whether you’re looking for something special to serve with a drink or a starter, everyone will love this one. It’s fast, and super simple.
The salty feta is whipped into a creamy, fluffy dip. The honey is swirled with chili flakes and garlic. Serve a big bowlful next to crispy pita bread, crackers or a platter of raw veggies for a funky appetizer.

Dips shouldn’t be complicated and this one surely isn’t. It’s nothing but feta, ricotta and sour cream blended together in a food processor, but what comes out of this combination is something truly special.

Surprising and interesting enough to keep you coming back for another dip. The creamiest, dreamiest dip you’ve ever imagined. It’s drizzled with spicy honey and sprinkled with za’atar.

Any leftovers can be used as a sandwich spread or as a salad dressing.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

RECIPE NOTES

  • whip it good! Make sure to use a food processor, a stand mixer is not able to break down the feta well enough
  • make this recipe beforehand, but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. The texture will become firm when refrigerated
  • great as a dip, an appetizer or on crostini. Leftovers can be used as a spread
  • perfect with drinks, for picnics, parties, brunch, bbq, anytime, anywhere
  • serve with pita chips, naan, buttery crackers or a charcuterie/veggie platter
  • it’s also great for lunch with pitta bread and raw veggies

    Love your recipes, I only wish your website had them in a printable format…kind of like a “jump to recipe” link where I can click it and print it without printing all of the great commentary. Just a suggestion.

    I am thinking of using this as a base of a Greek layered dip. What is the consistency, loose or think?

    I plan on making this the night before a potluck. Do I store the honey/oil mixture separately at room temperature or can I drizzle it over the feta and refrigerate it like that?

    I don’t have za’atar. Don’t even know what it is. Can I leave it out?

      Hi, za’atar is a spice blend of savory dried herbs, but if can’t find it, just leave it out. Enjoy the recipe!

    Am I to combine the sauce pan lemon and garlic combination to the whipped feta or just drizzle it on top?

      Hi, I think it should work, but only for smaller amounts. You could blend the dip in batches. Enjoy the recipe!
