This whipped Feta cheese dip is simple to make and a tasty appetizer to serve as your guests arrive. Make it earlier in the day and refrigerate.
Use cows milk Feta rather than sheep’s milk which is softer.
Ingredients;
1 1/2 TSP lemon juice
1/4 TSP minced garlic
8oz cow’s milk Feta cheese
3 TBLS whole milk or half and half
2 TBLS + 2 TSP extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 TSP fresh oregano, minced OR chives OR thyme OR dill
Pita slices or unsalted crackers and/OR veggies for dipping
Directions;
I mention an unsalted cracker and that is because the cheese is plenty salty.
Drain the Feta of any water. Blend together in a processor or blender the Feta, juice, garlic, 2 TBLS oil. Then add the milk. Add the herbs you choose to use whether it be one or several,
The taste is yours to choose.
Serve in a bowl, bell pepper or a carved out round bread or with pita slices, crackers, veggies or bread cubes.
Drizzle the top with the remaining 2 TSP of oil and a sprinkle of herbs.
