A creamy, tangy, sweet, and spicy whipped feta dip topped with roasted cherry tomatoes and drizzled with hot honey, perfect for parties and quick entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) block feta cheese
  • 1 pint (300 g) cherry tomatoes
  • 2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) hot honey
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast the tomatoes for 20-25 minutes until soft, slightly caramelized, and bursting. Watch closely during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. While the tomatoes roast, crumble the feta into the bowl of your food processor. Add the minced garlic and lemon juice.
  4. Pulse a few times, then with the processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil. Continue processing until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice if desired.
  6. Once the tomatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Transfer them on top of the whipped feta in a serving bowl.
  7. Drizzle hot honey generously over the roasted tomatoes and whipped feta. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if using.
  8. Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

Use block feta for best texture. Drizzle olive oil slowly when whipping feta to avoid separation. Roast tomatoes low and slow for best caramelization. Can prep whipped feta up to 24 hours ahead and roast tomatoes fresh. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
