A quick and easy creamy whipped feta dip paired with roasted cherry tomatoes and drizzled with hot honey, perfect for parties and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) softened cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pint (about 300 grams) cherry tomatoes, roasted
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or oregano (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse cherry tomatoes and pat dry. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast tomatoes for 15-18 minutes until soft, slightly wrinkled, and caramelized.
  4. In a food processor, combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  5. Pulse until smooth and airy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
  6. Season whipped feta with black pepper and flaky sea salt to taste.
  7. Spread whipped feta into a shallow serving bowl, creating a slight well in the center.
  8. Spoon warm roasted tomatoes over the whipped feta, letting juices mingle.
  9. Drizzle 2 tablespoons hot honey generously over the top.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over the dip.
  11. Serve immediately with pita chips, crusty bread, or fresh veggies.

Notes

Soften cream cheese fully before whipping for a silky texture. Use block feta for better whipping results. Roast tomatoes evenly without overcrowding. Adjust hot honey heat by adding chili flakes if desired. The dip is best served fresh and slightly warm. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently.
