Notes
Use good-quality feta: A block of feta (not pre-crumbled) blends smoother and creamier.
• Adjust the texture: Add a splash of cold water or a drizzle of olive oil if you want an extra light, fluffy whip.
• Make it ahead: Whipped feta can be made 1–2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container and give it a quick stir before serving.
• Serving ideas: Spread on crostini, serve with pita chips, warm naan, crackers, or fresh veggies.
• Hot honey swap: If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
• Flavor boosts: Add roasted garlic, lemon zest, or fresh herbs (dill, basil, parsley) for even more depth.
• Chill it: Let the whipped feta rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken.
