How to Make Whipped Feta

If you haven’t tried making whipped feta yet, it’s time. Like really time! It’s the easiest thing to put together and looks and tasted divine! We first tried making Whipped Feta with Roasted Tomatoes and Chickpeas and we were mind blown! It was love at first bite, so that is why we had to try making this again, but different toppings!

You’re going to need a good quality food processor, The food processor is how this dip gets whipped into an ultra creamy and dreamy goodness!

In the bowl of the food processor, add feta cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, garlic, honey, lemon juice, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and a splash of water.

Pulse then process for 1 minute or until the mixture is nice and smooth.

Spread onto a platter. The mixture will be so creamy!

Roasting olives is so simple. In a baking dish, add a combination of kalamata olives and green olives. If you have a favorite olive preference, feel free to use whatever you like! Add shallots, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Set aside to slightly cool.
