    Quick Whipped Feta Dip With Honey And Roasted Tomatoes

    Published: Sep 23, 2021 · Modified: Mar 24, 2022 by Rosanna Stevens · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Who hasn't jumped on the whipped feta trend yet? Resistance is futile, you know. When something tastes this good you just have to accept it. I did, and this whipped feta dip with honey and roasted tomatoes is the result. Scooped onto warm pita or flatbreads and eaten with glee, I don't regret it for a second. And it's incredibly easy. We roast the tomatoes until they start to caramelise and make a simple dressing from extra virgin olive oil, honey and thyme. I have recently returned from my amazing second home of Cyprus and I love to use my Cypriot olive oil and honey for this dish to remind me of being there.

    Tomato and feta is a classic flavour combination and one that is very typical of Greek and Cypriot cuisine. This whipped feta dip makes an ideal starter for sharing amongst friends in the Mediterranean style, placed on a big table and devoured before a traditional main course like Pastitsio.

    Yes yes yes this is a food trend, but who cares when it tastes this good?

    Sweet summer tomatoes ripened on the vine will taste best with this dish, and you can use a mixture of varieties but the smaller ones work better.

    Instructions

    Roast in the oven for approximately 45 minutes until they are starting to caramelise and the skins are slightly charred

    Variations

    Here are a few ways you can change up this whipped feta dip recipe to suit you.

    • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes on top of the feta dip to give it some heat
    • Gluten free - serve with vegetable cruidites to give some gluten free dipping vehicles
    • Other cheeses - Try this with other cheeses like soft goat cheese

    Equipment

    A good roasting tray, a mixing bowl and a whisk. You can use a Kitchen Aid or an electric hand whisk, or go old school and just whip it up by hand. And then you'll have earned it even more.

    Storage

    Store any leftovers in the fridge and eat within 3-4 days.

    These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
