A quick and easy dip combining creamy whipped feta, sweet honey, and mellow roasted garlic for a perfect balance of salty, sweet, and savory flavors. Ideal for snacks, entertaining, or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) block-style feta cheese
  • 1 head roasted garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey (mild-flavored, e.g., clover or orange blossom)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or oregano, chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. While the garlic roasts, cut the block of feta into chunks and place in your food processor or blender.
  3. Once the roasted garlic has cooled, scoop out the soft cloves and add them to the feta along with Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice.
  4. Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper carefully. Stir in fresh herbs like thyme or oregano if desired.
  6. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle a little extra honey and olive oil on top.
  7. Serve immediately with pita chips, crudités, or toasted bread, or chill for about 30 minutes to let the flavors marry.

Notes

Roast garlic thoroughly to mellow its sharpness and add sweetness. Use block-style feta for best whipping results. Full-fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tang. Chill dip for 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors and firm texture. If too thick, add a splash of olive oil or yogurt to loosen. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt and plant-based feta for vegan version. Avoid over-blending to prevent watery texture.
