Servings: 8
Equipment
- blender or food processor
Ingredients
whipped feta
- 1 lb feta cheese, block style, not crumbles.
- 5 ounces Skyr, or Greek yogurt (this is about 1/2 cup), for a richer dip you can use sour cream.
- 1-2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
garnish
- extra virgin olive oil
- crushed pistachios
- Niçoise olives
- dill fronds
- fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Add the feta cheese to a food processor or blender, breaking it up into chunks as you add. it. Add the skyr, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic as well.
- Blend or process until completely smooth. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients to your preference.
- Spoon the whipped feta dip out onto a serving bowl or plate. At this point you can cover and chill if you would like a firmer texture.
- When ready to serve, take the back of a large spoon to create swoops or swirls in the surface of the dip. Drizzle generously with the olive oil and top with pistachios, olives, dill, and fresh cracked black pepper.
