Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Feta Cheese (I suggest using block feta)
  • (1) 8-ounce pkg. Cream Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Lemon (juiced, about 1 1/2 Tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Topping:

  • 12 to 16 ounces Grape Tomatoes (sliced in half)
  • 1 Hot House Cucumber (sliced)
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Onion (diced)
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Kalamata Olives (optional)
  • Pita Chips or Crostinis (for serving)

Instructions

  • Add the feta, cream cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to a food processor or mixing bowl. Blend or mix until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The texture should be light, fluffy, and spreadable.
  • In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and olives (if using). Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Spread the whipped feta generously onto a platter or shallow bowl, creating swoops and swirls with the back of a spoon.
  • Spoon the fresh vegetable mixture over the whipped feta. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and finish with extra herbs or red pepper flakes if desired.
