Creamy Whipped Feta Dip

Creamy Whipped Feta Dip

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz Theos Feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dill
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper

For Serving:

  • Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Toasted Pita Wedges

Directions:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a small spoon to create a swirl on the surface of the dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
  2. MAKE AHEAD: This dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will stiffen up in the fridge to a spread-like consistency, so be sure to let is sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
  3. To make the toasted pita wedges: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the pita bread on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cut into wedges, then arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
  4. To make the toasted sesame seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, cook the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until golden, a few minutes. Watch carefully as they are quick to burn.
