Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz feta cheese
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic.
  2. Prepare Garlic: Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, then wrap tightly in foil to prevent burning during roasting.
  3. Roast Garlic: Place the wrapped garlic in the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes until the garlic cloves become soft and golden, allowing the flavors to mellow and sweeten.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the feta cheese, roasted garlic cloves squeezed out from their skins, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper for seasoning.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until creamy and smooth, adding a little water or more olive oil if a creamier texture is desired.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, add a little water or more olive oil while blending.
  • This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Experiment with different fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme to vary the flavor.
