This is one of the easiest best appetizers I have discovered in a long while. Last week I hosted a girl’s night and needed to whip something together with ingredients from my fridge and minimal effort.
Whipped Feta was created. And devoured. Success. I served with some of my favorite crackers from Trader Joe’s but also could be served with torn pieces of naan, spread on a crostini and topped with tomato or prosciutto or a basil leaf and black pepper. The possibilities for this concoction are endless. Please make this and let us know how you use it!
Whipped Feta
1/2 Package of Feta Cheese
1/2 Package of Cream Cheese
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
Juice and zest of 1/2 of a lemon
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Fresh Basil (optional, but suggested)
Combine two cheeses in food processor until they come together, add all remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until 15 minutes before serving, this needs time to get closer to room temperature but does not take long to do so.
Serve. Enjoy! Be prepared to give out this easy recipe – people will ask for it!
It looks really creamy and with a nice texture ! i also like very much the harmony of your picture 🙂 I usually make a more diet-oriented recipe, that is by replacing the cream cheese by low fat plain yogurt (half a portion), and for a different taste I sometimes replace the basil by middle-eastern hot green peppers (very thinly chopped). These recipes are not yet listed on my blog, but I should think about it actually… 😉
