whipped feta dip with crudite and roasted tomatoes

whipped feta two ways

a super simple two ingredient appetizer with endless flavor combinations. below are my two favorites: simple whipped feta with honey thyme roasted tomatoes and lemon dill whipped feta.
*quick note* this recipe makes a LOT of dip! you won't hear me complaining, but thought I'd give a heads up nonetheless.

Ingredients
  

whipped feta (enough for both!)

  • Two 8 oz blocks of feta, room temp
  • One 8 oz block of cream cheese, room temp

honey thyme roasted tomatoes

  • 1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon dried thyme, to taste

lemon dill whipped feta variation

  • zest of half lemon
  • juice of one lemon
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill

for serving

  • baguette, crackers, mini bell peppers, cucumber, etc.

Instructions
 

for the whipped feta

  • Break the feta into halves or quarters and place into the food processor. Cut cream cheese in half and add. Blend until creamy and smooth.
  • If you're making both versions, set aside half the mixture (about 11.5 ounces) to serve with tomatoes.
  • For the lemon dill, stir in the zest, lemon juice, and dried dill to combine.
  • Store both in the fridge until about 30 minutes prior to serving.

for the honey thyme tomatoes

  • preheat oven to 425. add your tomatoes to a medium bowl. (you'll need room to stir them well!)
  • find a smaller baking dish for this one! you want the tomatoes in a single layer but touching; I find an 8x8 works well. Spray/oil the pan.
  • combine olive oil, honey, thyme, and garlic in a small bowl. microwave until honey is melted and whisk well to combine.
  • pour mixture over tomatoes and stir to combine, ensuring tomatoes are covered. place tomatoes in the baking pan. make sure to really scrape the bowl and pour the last bits on top!
  • roast for 25-30 minutes, until tomatoes are bursting. let cool a bit before serving.

to serve

  • pull the dip out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving.
  • serve with baguettes, your favorite veggies, and enjoy! I've also spread the plain whipped feta on a platter and poured tomatoes on top. your choice!
