Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of sheep milk feta cheese (about 200g)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
  • 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 1 garlic clove (optional, for added flavor)

Suggested Toppings

Instructions

Prepare the Feta: Break the block of feta into smaller chunks and place it in a food processor.

Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic to the food processor with the feta.

Whip the Feta: Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add an extra drizzle of olive oil or a spoonful of yogurt to reach the desired consistency.

Serve: Transfer the whipped feta to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with desired toppings.

Notes

  • For a thinner consistency: Add more olive oil, Greek yogurt, or a splash of water/lemon juice while blending.

  • For a thicker consistency: Use less yogurt or add more feta to create a firmer texture.

  • Adjust consistency as needed: If the mixture is too thick, you can adjust by adding more olive oil, Greek yogurt, or a splash of water or lemon juice a little at a time. 

  • Taste as you go: Since feta can vary in saltiness, adjust the seasoning to your liking by adding. Avoid adding salt until after tasting.

  • Make It Ahead: Whipped feta can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. It often tastes even better after sitting for a few hours as the flavors meld. Just give it a good stir before serving.

  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor or high-powered blender is ideal for achieving a smooth, creamy consistency. Avoid using a hand mixer or whisk (affiliate link), as they may not break down the feta well enough.
