Why you'll love it

This whipped feta is a total game changer! I'm sure that you're familiar with crumbled feta, which can often be difficult to work with. It's so good but falls off everything. This is the total opposite. It's creamy and spreadable and completely delicious on a party platter.

Feta takes me back to the pizza place I worked at as a teenager. Making the Mediterranean pizzas would mess up the assembly line during the peak period. It was really frantic, and I didn't want to accidentally put feta on someone's pepperoni pizza. It was serious business back then, but it's funny to think about now that I'm very fond of feta! Especially when it has a dreamy texture like in this recipe.

Ingredients you will need

Feta - I just buy a block of it

Cream cheese - it complements the feta and makes it creamy. Philly is my go-to brand.

Oregano, basil, and chives - this trio infuses irresistible fresh herb taste

Garlic - if you're a garlic lover, go ahead and add some more

Olive oil - to make this spread smooth and silky

Lemon - using both fresh lemon juice and zest makes this spread extra bright

How to make whipped feta

This is an overview, and full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.

Let the feta and cream cheese soften up on your counter so they're easy to work with. Finely chop the fresh herbs.

Pulse the cheeses in your food processor until they're combined. I use this Kitchen Aid food processor.

Add the rest of the ingredients, and blend until smooth. Chill in the fridge, or serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips for success

Refrigerating it makes this more of a spread than a dip. If you're planning on using it as a dip, it's best around room temperature.

As always, feel free to add your preferred herbs or whatever you have on hand.

I think a drizzle of olive oil on top makes most things taste even better, and this easy whipped feta is no exception!

What to serve with it

There are many ways you can enjoy whipped feta. We like it on a sliced toasted baguette with roasted tomatoes or in a sandwich or burger.

It's great as an impressive dip along with hummus on an appetizer platter at gatherings. I like to serve it with vegetables like carrot sticks, celery, and cucumber or triangles of pita bread.

It also works perfectly on crackers for a quick snack!
