Ingredients

  • 8 ounces block quality feta, drained
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, or red pepper flakes (to your taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2-3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons crushed pistachios, optional

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the feta, Greek yogurt and lemon zest. Blend, and while the processor is running, drizzle olive oil through the top opening, until the feta is whipped to a smooth mixture.
  • Transfer the whipped feta to a serving plate. With the back of your spoon, smooth the top of the feta, making an indentation in the middle (or a “well”). Pour a bit of olive oil all over the feta, then top with the Aleppo pepper, fresh herbs, and nuts.
  • Serve with pita chips or pita wedges.

Notes

  • Serve whipped feta with pita chips or your favorite veggies.
  • You can change the seasonings and toppings to your liking. Dukkah and bits of Preserved lemons are great to add on top. You can also use it as a creamy bed for things like roasted tomatoes or roasted broccoli. 
  • Leftovers and storage: plain whipped feta (with no toppings) should be stored in the fridge in a tight-lid container. It should keep for up to 3 days.
