A fabulous dip made up of whipped feta cheese and topped with a spicy garlicky honey perfect for serving at a party with toasted bread or crackers.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 2 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add or spray a small amount of cooking oil into the saucepan. Add the minced garlic and sauté 2 minutes to soften the garlic but be careful to make sure that none of it gets brown.

  2. 2

    Add in the red pepper flakes and cook with the garlic about 30 seconds to release the aromas. Add in the honey. Stir everything together and remove from the heat before the honey starts to bubble up. Let the garlic honey mixture rest and cool down while you make the whipped feta.

  3. 3

    Add the olive oil, feta, cream cheese, and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend together until smooth about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Transfer the whipped feta to a serving platter, making indentations in the center as a place for the honey to pool.

  5. 5

    Slowly drizzle the garlic honey over the whipped feta. Top with the chopped pistachios and parsely. Serve with toasted bread or crackers.
