Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz feta cheese, crumbled (grab the good stuff, y’all—it’s worth it!)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temp
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (the extra virgin kind is the best)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (just a lil’ squeeze for zing!)
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (brightens up your morning, promise!)
- 1 tablespoon honey, plus extra for drizzling (don’t skimp—make it golden!)
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
- 4 slices hearty artisan bread, toasted up crispy
- Fresh herbs like basil or mint, to garnish (optional, but delightful)
Instructions
- Whip it Good: Grab a food processor or blender, toss in your feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and that tablespoon of honey. Give it a whirl until it’s smooth, fluffy, and looks good enough to eat right off the spoon (we’ve all been there!).
- Season it Up: Add a lil’ pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper—taste it and adjust, making sure it’s perfect for your palate.
- Toast Time: While your whipped feta is hangin’ out, toast your artisan bread slices till they’re golden-brown and crispy around the edges. Warm, crunchy toast is the key to happiness, friends!
- Spread the Love: Slather your whipped feta generously onto each piece of toast. Don’t be shy—get that toast loaded up!
- Drizzle & Garnish: Finish it off with an extra drizzle of honey, and if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a few fresh herbs like basil or mint on top for a burst of spring flavor.
Notes
- The whipped feta spread can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- For the best spreading consistency, remove the whipped feta from the refrigerator about 15-20 minutes before using.
- Quality ingredients make all the difference here! Traditional Greek or Bulgarian feta in brine will give you the best flavor.
- Try different honey varieties like wildflower, orange blossom, or lavender to create unique flavor profiles.
- For a gorgeous presentation, create beautiful swoops and swirls in the whipped feta using the back of a spoon.
