1. Blend Ingredients
Place the crumbled feta cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, whole milk, finely grated lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice into a food processor. Blend for about a minute until the mixture is smooth and airy.
2. Season and Transfer
Once the mixture is smooth, season with freshly ground white pepper to taste. Transfer the dip to a shallow serving bowl using a spatula, ensuring to scrape down the food processor's sides.
3. Drizzle and Serve
Drizzle Dried Herb Oil or extra-virgin olive oil over the whipped feta dip before serving. Serve with crudités, chips, or bread.
Opt for a block of feta packed in brine, made from sheep's milk or a sheep-goat milk blend for creamier texture and richer flavor.
Blend the feta with cream cheese or thick Greek yogurt to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency and temper the sharpness of the feta.
Top with zest for freshness and flaky sea salt for texture contrast, enhancing flavor and presentation.
Use a food processor and scrape down the sides as needed for even blending and a silky, airy texture.
Prepare the herb oil ahead of time and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
