Description
A creamy, tangy whipped feta dip topped with sweet-tart cranberry sauce and a spicy honey drizzle, perfect for holiday gatherings or as a festive appetizer.
Ingredients
- 8 oz block feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish
- Crackers or toasted baguette slices for serving
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine crumbled feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and smooth the top.
- In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then spoon over the whipped feta.
- In another small saucepan, warm honey and red pepper flakes over low heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then drizzle over the cranberry layer.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary. Serve immediately with crackers or toasted baguette slices.
