A tangy, creamy whipped feta dip paired with sweet honey roasted tomatoes and warm pita bread, perfect for quick snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces block feta cheese, preferably full-fat
  • 1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 300 grams), halved
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or oregano (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4–6 pieces pita bread, warmed or toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and minced garlic until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the tomatoes cut side up on the lined baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until soft, caramelized, and slightly shriveled.
  4. While the tomatoes roast, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor.
  5. Process for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth. Add a teaspoon of water or more yogurt if too thick.
  6. Season with freshly ground black pepper and fold in chopped fresh thyme or oregano if using.
  7. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl and spoon the warm honey roasted tomatoes over the top. Drizzle extra honey and olive oil for gloss.
  8. Warm or toast the pita breads until soft and slightly crisp on edges, then cut into triangles for dipping.
  9. Serve by scooping the whipped feta dip with the warm pita and roasted tomatoes.

Notes

If feta is too salty, soak briefly in cold water and drain before whipping. Roasting tomatoes longer deepens honey flavor but watch to avoid burning. Warm pita just before serving for best texture. For vegan option, substitute tofu and maple syrup for feta and honey.
