Ingredients
Scale
Main ingredients
- 1 head garlic (for deep, sweet flavor)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (grab your favorite kind)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess and tang)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (good quality)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for a little zing)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or oregano)
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice about 1/4 inch off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap snugly.
- Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until soft and golden brown.
- Once cooled enough to handle, squeeze the soft roasted cloves out of their skins into a food processor.
- Add the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice to the food processor.
- Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Stir in the chopped fresh herbs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
This whipped feta is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If it thickens, stir before serving. It can also be a thoughtful homemade gift.
