    About Whipped Feta And Cream Cheese Dip

    It comes together in under 10 minutes using simple ingredients.

    Make this easy appetizer recipe for game day, movie nights, or house parties.

    This recipe to make whipped feta and cream cheese dip gives approximately 1 cup of dip. You can easily half, double, or triple it as per your requirement.

    Ingredients & Substitutes

    Feta cream cheese dip ingredients 1
    Feta cream cheese ingredients 2

    Feta Cheese – Use goat’s milk feta or sheep’s milk feta cheese, whichever is easily available. Try to use soft Feta cheese that has been packed in brine instead of a vacuum-packed block of feta for the best result.

    Bring the cheese to room temperature so that it is softened a little making the blending process easier.

    If feta cheese is not available, then you can use goat cheese or any other soft white cheese.

    Cream Cheese & Yogurt – The addition of cream cheese and Greek yogurt makes the dip creamier, smoother, and fluffier. You can replace yogurt with mayonnaise or sour cream for a richer dip.

    Extra-Virgin Olive Oil – Use the best quality one!

    Lemon Zest – Adds freshness to the dip, which makes it so refreshing to eat.

    Garlic – Fresh garlic gives a lovely flavor to the dip.

    Seasonings – Dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes are the seasonings used in the dip.

    You can also add some garlic powder or lemon juice to the recipe.

    The dip can also be topped with some kalamata olives, a drizzle of honey, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, etc.

    How To Make Spicy Whipped Feta Cream Cheese Dip

    Transfer

    • 4 oz (100 g) Feta cheese, room temperature
    • 4 oz (100 g) cream cheese, room temperature

    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

    to a food processor or a blender and blend for at least 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.

    Blending for at least 3-4 minutes is an important step to create a creamy texture.

    Scrap the sides a few times while blending.

    Note – In case you do not own a high-speed blender, crumble the feta before mixing it up with other ingredients.

    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

    Variations

    Baked – Add the ready feta cheese dip to a baking dish and bake it at 380 degrees f for 20-25 minutes. The time can differ depending on your oven, so ensure to check after 15 minutes.

    Roasted Red Bell Pepper – Add a few slices of jarred roasted red peppers along with cream cheese, feta cheese, and other ingredients while blending.

    Slow Cooker – Mix all the ingredients and add them to a greased slow cooker. Cook covered on low heat for 2-3 hours.

    Others

    Add some hot sauce and red pepper flakes to make the feta cheese dip spicier.

    You can also add a handful of fresh herbs like fresh thyme, fresh dill, or green onions.

    To make the dip creamier, add some mayonnaise to it.

    Serving Suggestions

    It is a great dip to make for house parties, potlucks, or other special occasions.

    Serve this creamy Feta Cheese and Cream Cheese Dip chilled or at room temperature along with pita chips, crusty bread, and crackers of your choice. It also tastes great with cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and beetroot sticks.

    You can also make it a part of your charcuterie board or fresh veggies platter.

    You can also serve creamy whipped feta dip as an accompaniment with grilled or roasted chicken, roasted veggies, or any other appetizer/snack of your choice.

    It also tastes great with warm pita bread and can be a part of the Mezze platter.

    You can also top savory biscuits with this dip and serve it as an appetizer.

    Keeping up with the internet trend, this dip can be converted to a feta and cream cheese dip board. Spread the dip on a chopping board or a platter and top with your choice of toppings.

    Storage Suggestions

    This easy whipped feta dip recipe will last for about 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Use a clean and dry spoon for every use, this will ensure that the dip lasts for longer.

    I do not recommend freezing it as its texture can become weird once thawed.
