Whipped Feta

This is a tale of one recipe with two presentations: sweet and savory, brunch or cocktail party.  Whipped feta is smooth, has a complex flavor, and is easy to put together.   I roasted a full pan of tomatoes and EVOO and saved the extra to use in other recipes.  

Ingredients:

  • 8oz feta cheese
  • 3oz cream cheese
  • 3T The Furies EVOO
  • 3T water
  • 1t honey
  • 1/4t lemon zest, approximately half a lemon

Savory: 

  • heirloom cherry tomatoes
  • 3T EVOO
  • salt & pepper 

To prepare:

Savory:

  • Preheat oven to 375'. Coat tomatoes in EVOO.  Roast for 20 minutes.  Let cool while making the dip.

Sweet:

  • Play with dollops of jams or nuts and honey.  My favorites were fig, and classic walnut and honey.  

Dip:

  • Combine cheeses, EVOO, and honey in food processer.  Add water while continuing to whip.  Fold in lemon zest.
