Description
This whipped feta dip with honey is an absolute favourite around here. The whipped feta is smooth and creamy and topped with a green onion, Aleppo pepper honey mixture.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (light green and white parts)
- 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (or chili flakes)
- 1-2 tbsp honey (depending on your preference, I used about 1)
- 7 ozs feta cheese, room temperature
- 5 ozs ricotta, room temperature
- 4 ozs Greek yogurt
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
This tastes best when served room temperature, so if you make it ahead of time, keep the oil and dip separate and let the dip come to room temperature before drizzling the oil on top.
