Categories     Appetizers

Time 15m

Yield Makes about 1½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 8-oz block feta cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellman's or Duke's
Zest from 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon, packed)
1 small clove garlic, chopped
¼ teaspoon dried dill
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
Toasted sesame seeds
Extra virgin olive, for drizzling
Toasted pita wedges (or pita chips) and/or sliced vegetables

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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 it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
  • 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.
  • 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.

WHIPPED FETA



Whipped Feta image

Being Greek born I have a flair for Mediterranean and especially Greek and Greek-style food. This is a staple in all of the Greek taverna and on a Greek meze table, it's wonderful served with pita chips and on a baguette. You can really add in just about anything you like to this for extra flavor. The original recipe does not have the roasted peppers, but I like to add them in for more flavor, you can omit the peppers though. If possible try to purchase a softer feta for this. Depending on your location, Greek style yogurt may be hard to find, if that is the case, just purchase full-fat plain yogurt and drain it through cheese cloth or a fine strainer overnight to drain the moisture. Plan ahead the whipped feta needs to be refrigerated for a minimum of 2 hours before serving. Make certain to add in the lemon juice just before serving. You can double the complete recipe.
