Recipe Notes

Whipped Feta Tips

  1. Start with your favorite type of feta cheese. Crumbled feta or creamy works well. Goat or cow or a combo also works!
  2. Greek yogurt is used in the recipe to add the creamy to the feta crumbles. Feel free to use sour cream, regular yogurt or even cream cheese for an extra layer of creamy. Ricotta also adds a unique texture.
  3. Seasoning and flavoring such as garlic, honey, lemon juice, spice, herbs are all up to your taste.
  4. Always remember you need to scrape the bowl of the food processor as you go.
  5. The topping is an extra layer of flavor and texture to the whipped feta so I urge you to add it!
  6. Serve right away with homemade pita chips and veggies, and fruits
  7. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for upto 5 days
  8. Check out the section above on how to use whipped feta other than in a dip.

Q&A

How long can you store whipped feta?

You can store the whipped in an air tight container anywhere between 3-5 days. This will depends on additions you may have added to the dip which sometimes cause it to go bad sooner. If using my recipe below, then 5 days.
