How to Make Whipped Feta

  1. Combine 8 ounces of crumbled feta cheese and 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (or full-fat plain yogurt drained overnight in cheesecloth) in a food processor. Pulse until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Process until the mixture is light, fluffy, and easily spreadable.
  3. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Gently fold in 1/4 cup of finely chopped roasted red peppers (optional).
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste and texture!
  5. Right before serving, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to taste. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference.
