Description
Spicy Whipped Feta with Honey & Chili Crunch is a creamy, tangy, sweet-and-spicy appetizer you can make in just 10 minutes. Whipped feta and cream cheese get a velvety finish from Greek yogurt, a drizzle of golden honey, and a fiery sprinkle of chili crunch. It’s the kind of dip that looks fancy but is effortless enough for a Tuesday snack — and trust me, it disappears fast.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (full-fat for best texture)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra-virgin recommended)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes or chili crunch sauce
- Fresh thyme or oregano, for garnish
- Toasted bread or crackers, for serving
Instructions
Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for easy blending.
In a food processor, combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
Transfer to a shallow serving bowl.
Drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle with chili flakes or chili crunch sauce.
Garnish with fresh thyme or oregano.
Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
Sheep’s milk feta gives a creamier, less crumbly texture.
If you can’t find chili crunch, use red pepper flakes with a drizzle of sesame oil.
Prep ahead: Make the whipped feta base up to a day before and add honey/chili just before serving.
For a milder version, reduce chili or use sweet chili sauce instead.
