Instructions
Preparation Steps
Combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor.
Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.
If the whipped feta is too thick for your liking, add cold water (or milk) one tablespoon at a time, and process again until you achieve your desired creamy consistency.
Taste the whipped feta and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired, such as chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, consider topping your whipped feta with roasted cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of za'atar, or a honey drizzle. It's also delicious when spread on toast with avocado!
