My go-to crowd-pleasing dip that comes together in minutes.
If you’ve ever needed a last-minute appetizer that still feels elevated and homemade, this Whipped Feta is exactly what you want. It’s creamy, salty, a little sweet from the honey, and honestly one of my favorite things to serve when we have friends over. I’ve made this recipe so many times that the little handwritten note I keep in my kitchen drawer is practically soft at the edges.
This is the kind of app that looks gorgeous on a platter but takes almost no effort — truly my love language.
Ingredients
-
8 oz. block feta, room temp
-
8 oz. cream cheese, room temp
-
1 Tbsp olive oil (plus more if needed)
-
1 tsp minced garlic
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
Honey
-
Chopped pistachios + chives for topping
How I Make It
-
Add the feta, cream cheese, olive oil, and garlic to a food processor.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little extra olive oil if it needs help coming together.
-
Season with salt and pepper and blend again.
-
Spread the whipped feta onto a platter.
-
Use the back of a spoon to make a little well in the center — this will hold the honey.
-
Fill the well with honey, then top with chopped pistachios, chives, and a little more black pepper.
How I Serve It
I love putting this out with:
-
Fresh veggies
-
Roasted veggies
-
Warm pita or naan
-
Crackers or crostini
It’s honestly delicious with anything — and people ALWAYS ask for the recipe.
Ashley’s Hosting Notes
-
Make it ahead! Keep it refrigerated, then add honey + toppings right before serving.
-
If you want a little heat, add red pepper flakes on top.
-
This also makes the cutest board centerpiece if you're building a grazing table.
This Whipped Feta is one of those easy recipes that feels special every single time. I hope you love it as much as we do. Enjoy! 💋
