This creamy whipped feta dip combines tangy feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and roasted sun-dried tomatoes for a flavorful appetizer, perfect for sharing. It’s an easy way to incorporate heart-healthy fats with fresh produce or whole-grain crackers.
1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
2. In an oven-safe glass dish, mix sun-dried tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, and 1 sprig of rosemary.
Bake for about 12 minutes.
3. Add the feta cheese and Greek yogurt to the bowl of the food processor.
4. Place the lid on the food processor and slowly pour in 3 tablespoons of olive oil while mixing. Stop mixing occasionally to scrape the sides of the processor.
5. Once the feta mixture is smooth and creamy, add 1 tablespoon of milk or more until desired texture.
6. Evenly spread the whipped feta into a separate, shallow oven-safe dish (pie pan, small casserole dish).
7. Place the dish under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the feta is warm and slightly bubbles at the edges.
8. Remove from the oven and top with the roasted mixture, minced fresh rosemary, and black pepper.
If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender.
Optionally, top with chopped nuts or olives as a garnish
Serve with low-sodium crackers and vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, or celery
