In the past few years, whipped feta has gone from an unknown dish arousing confusion to a social media staple. Made with only a few ingredients and a few minutes of your time, this recipe is great as a dip or on freshly toasted bread combined with other Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. 

Ingredients:

  • 200g feta cheese
  • 100g cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Black pepper
  • Chilli flakes

Steps:

  • Crumble the feta into a food processor and add cream cheese, olive oil and lemon zest. Mix until combined with a smooth texture. 
  • Transfer to a bowl and drizzle lightly with more olive oil. Top with a sprinkle of black pepper and chili flakes to serve. 

To make a whipped feta dressing instead of a thick dip, replace the cream cheese with Greek yoghurt. You can also add extra toppings like toasted nuts, sesame seeds or fresh herbs depending on the dish it is being served with.
