    Whipped Feta

    Published: Jun 26, 2023 by Nicky Corbishley

    Go to Recipe Go to Video Print Recipe

    Creamy whipped feta - a luscious, tangy, creamy and slightly salt dip. Perfect for serving with crudités, drizzled on barbecued meats and vegetables or smothered on stuffed pita wraps.
    I love to serve mine with my Air Fryer Greek-style chicken and Flatbreads.

    Feta is good, but this whipped feta dip? Now that is something else.
    It's basically a way to make feta taste even creamier, and in a form that means you can spread it on or dip it in everything! The perfect appetizer!

    • Use as a dip for veggies such as carrots, cucumber, celery and peppers
    • Load it onto pita bread, pita chips or crackers
    • Drizzle it on wraps or cooked meats (especially barbecued meat)

    Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post.

    👩‍🍳PRO TIP The addition of a little bit of water makes this a smooth, creamy dip with the perfect texture. You can add more water if you want to thin is out further an turn it into more of a pourable sauce.

    Serve the dip as it is, or you can load it with toppings - such as sesame seeds, fresh herbs or lemon zest - or as I've I've done on the picture below, a little drizzle of olive oil.

    🍽️ What to serve it with

    • Serve smothered on Air Fryer Greek Chicken with Marinated Onions, stuffed into fluffy flatbreads
    • As an alternative to Tzatziki with Chicken Souvlaki or Lamb Souvlaki
    • Drizzled on Chicken Gyros or Pork Gyros
    • Serve alongside Crispy Lamb Salad or Greek Potato Hash

    I love to serve this feta dip recipe as part of a 'make your own stuffed flatbreads' platter.

      Absolutely loved this! I halved the recipe and kept it quite thick and used it with (proper - homemade) frankfurters in rolls, fried onions 🧅, sliced tomatoes 🍅 etc. will be making again when I have a BBQ.
