Ingredients:

  • 8 oz Greek feta cheese, drained and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, plain
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for topping)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil or mint for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Drain the feta from its brine and pat it dry with a paper towel. Crumble the cheese into small pieces by hand.
  2. Place the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, grated garlic, and honey into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  3. Process the mixture for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the texture is completely smooth and aerated.
  4. For the topping, toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes on a small baking sheet. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes until the skins burst.
  5. Spread the whipped feta onto a shallow bowl or plate, creating a well in the center. Top with the warm roasted tomatoes and garnish with fresh herbs.
