A smooth and luscious whipped feta dip paired with sweet roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs, perfect for snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) feta cheese, ideally in brine
  • 1 pint (about 300 grams) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling and roasting)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, or dill)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Spread cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast tomatoes for 20–25 minutes until soft and slightly blistered, smelling sweet and looking jammy.
  4. While tomatoes roast, crumble feta into a food processor bowl.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the feta.
  6. Pulse and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down sides occasionally. Aim for fluffy but thick texture.
  7. Gently fold in chopped fresh herbs.
  8. Let roasted tomatoes cool slightly, then fold most into the whipped feta, reserving some for garnish.
  9. Season with freshly ground black pepper and adjust salt. Add red pepper flakes or honey if desired.
  10. Transfer dip to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with reserved roasted tomatoes and herbs.

Notes

Use feta packed in brine for creamier texture. Drain excess liquid from feta to avoid runny dip. Roast tomatoes slowly at 400°F for best caramelization. Fold herbs gently to keep freshness. Add olive oil teaspoon by teaspoon to adjust thickness. Prepare dip a few hours ahead and store covered in fridge; bring to room temperature before serving.
