Feta Cheese, crumbled
0 oz
cups
Lemon Zest, finely grated
teaspoons
Lemon Juice, fresh
tablespoons
White Pepper, freshly ground
to taste
Dried Herb Oil
as needed
1. Blend Feta Mixture
Place the crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, whole milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice into a food processor. Blend until the mixture is very smooth, about one minute.
2. Season with White Pepper
Season the whipped feta mixture with freshly ground white pepper to taste.
3. Transfer and Drizzle
Transfer the whipped feta dip into a shallow serving bowl and drizzle with Dried Herb Oil or additional extra-virgin olive oil.
Opt for a high-quality, block-style feta cheese, preferably Greek or Bulgarian, stored in brine for a creamier and tangier dip.
Blend the feta with a bit of Greek yogurt to achieve a perfectly smooth and airy consistency. Adjust the amount based on your preference for richness.
Pulse the feta to break it down, then blend continuously until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Feta is naturally salty, so taste before adding additional salt and use fresh cracked black pepper or Aleppo pepper for mild heat.
Warm the oil only enough to let the herbs release their flavors without frying them to prevent bitterness and maintain a fresh aroma.
