Ingredients
  

Equipment

  • Food processor: Blends the feta and goat cheese into a smooth, creamy dip.
  • Spatula: For scraping down the sides of the food processor.
  • Serving bowl: Shallow bowls create better swoops for honey drizzling.
  • Honey dipper or spoon: For adding the finishing honey drizzle.

Method
 

  1. Add the feta, goat cheese, grated garlic, Greek seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Process on high until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and fully blended. Stop once or twice to scrape down the sides to ensure everything incorporates evenly.
  3. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create swoops on the surface. Drizzle extra honey on top.
  4. Serve immediately with crackers, toasted pita, crostini, or sliced vegetables.

Notes

  • Seasoning Substitution: If you do not have The Spice Girl Kitchen Greek Seasoning, mix equal parts dried oregano, dried thyme, dried basil, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Why Block Feta Matters: Always use block feta. Pre-crumbled feta is coated in anti-caking agents that cause a gritty texture.
  • Texture Too Thick: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Texture Too Thin: Add more feta or refrigerate the dip for 20 to 30 minutes to help it firm.
  • Brightening the Flavor: If you prefer more citrus, add an extra 0.5 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare this whipped feta up to 3 days in advance. Add the honey drizzle right before serving.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve with crackers, crostini, pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as part of a Mediterranean appetizer board. It is also excellent spooned over grain bowls or roasted vegetables.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze. Stir before serving and add fresh honey on top.
