Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 8 ounce brick feta cheese drained, roughly broken up into pieces
- 6 ounces brick cream cheese room temperature, cut into 4 to 6 sections
- Fresh cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling
- roasted balsamic strawberries for topping
- chopped fresh basil for garnish
- crostini for serving
Instructions
- Place the feta cheese pieces, softened cream cheese pieces, and a couple turns of fresh cracked pepper in the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse several times to blend, then with the processor still running, slowly pour in the oil and blend until smooth and fluffy.
- Transfer the whipped feta to a shallow serving bowl. With the back of your spoon, smooth the top of the feta, making a well/indentation in the middle.
- Top with cooled roasted balsamic strawberries (and their juices!), then drizzle a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped fresh basil. Serve with crostini.

Notes
You can enjoy this whipped feta without the strawberry topping, if preferred, but I recommend adding other herbs and spices to your feta. Red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper, fresh mint or parsley, Greek herb blend or Za'atar, roasted garlic, lemon juice, or honey are all good additions.
