Whipped Feta with Hot Honey

This is THE. DIP. As in, the one and only, perfect dip you’ll need.

I know, that’s a bold statement, but after making this so many times, I can confidently say, it’s my favourite dip and it’s always a hit.

Any time I’ve made it for guests, family, friends or my husband, it has the same response – “oh my God, this is so good.” I once made it twice in one weekend when I was hanging out with friends because it was that well loved.

This easy and delicious whipped feta with honey dip is inspired by one of my favourite cookbooks from Alison Roman, “Nothing Fancy.” Her recipe uses labneh instead of whipped feta and has more of a ranch vibe to it.

And she also refers to this dip, as THE dip. Because it really does become the one dip you’ll go back to again and again.

Ingredients

Here are all of the ingredients you’ll need to make this whipped feta and honey dip.

• extra virgin olive oil
• scallions
• Aleppo pepper (or chili flakes)
• honey
• feta cheese
• ricotta
• Greek yogurt

How to Make This Whipped Feta & Honey Dip

This whipped feta dip couldn’t be easier to whip up, pun intended.

Here’s what to do.

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the oil. Once warmed, toss in the scallions and Aleppo pepper.

Sauté until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about four to five minutes.

Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl. Drizzle in the honey and stir again, set aside.

In a food processor, combine the feta, ricotta and greek yogurt and a good pinch of salt. Process on high until very smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Spoon the feta dip into a serving bowl when ready to eat and drizzle the scallion oil over top. Garnish with flaky salt and serve with your favourite bread, pita, crackers or veggies.

Tips for Making a Creamy Whipped Feta Dip

• Room temperature cheese: this will whip easier and result in a creamier dip when using room temperature feta and ricotta. I usually let them sit out for about an hour before making.
• Process on high: for super smooth whipped feta dip with honey, be sure to process on high in the food processor for a few minutes. This will result in smooth and creamy whipped feta.
• Use a food processor: this is the easiest appliance to use for this dip. A blender will also work, but it’s a pain to clean, so I recommend a food processor, this is the one I use.

Storage

• Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days.
• This dip is best enjoyed at room temperature.
• Store dip and oil separately if possible and then assemble when ready to eat.

Substitutions

• No ricotta: simply use all feta cheese instead. I prefer a mix for this, but it will work with just feta.
• Aleppo pepper: feel free to use chili flakes instead. Aleppo pepper is milder and has more flavour.
• No yogurt: omit the Greek yogurt.
