Whipped Feta With Blistered Tomatoes
Whipped Feta With Blistered Tomatoes is a simple and delicious summer appetizer that only takes roughly 10 minutes to make. It’s the perfect addition to any gathering. The feta is combined with yogurt and whipped to create a super creamy dip/spread, then topped with blistered tomatoes, flakey salt, and fresh herbs. It is the perfect dip for veggies, or best enjoyed slathered on toasted bread.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 oz Feta Cheese Mt. Vikos
- 3-4 tablespoon Greek or Sheep's Milk Yogurt
- 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 sprig Rosemary
- Flakey Sea Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh Herbs to garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, tomatoes, salt, rosemary and garlic.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes or until tomatoes blister and begin to release their juices. You will want to stir frequently so as not to burn the garlic.
- Cube the feta cheese and add it to the food processor along with the yogurt.
- Pulse a few times, then blend for thirty seconds to one minute, or until smooth. If needed, add more yogurt to reach desired consistency.
- Plate the whipped feta and add the warm blistered tomatoes along with their juices on top.
- Garnish with flakey sea salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs of your choice.
- Serve immediately.
NOTE:
- You can prepare the whipped feta ahead of time, however it will thicken up and lose a bit of its fluffiness when placed in the fridge, but it will not affect the flavor. If you do prepare this in advance, remove it from the fridge, so as to allow the whipped feta to come to room temperature prior to serving (it’s also easier to spread this way).
