Print Recipe

A creamy, tangy whipped feta dip with sweet roasted tomatoes, perfect for entertaining or a quick snack. Ready in under 20 minutes using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces block feta cheese (preferably President or Valbreso)
  • 1 pint (about 250 grams) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for roasting
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or cream (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. Wash and halve the cherry or grape tomatoes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until soft, caramelized, and slightly blistered.
  4. While the tomatoes roast, crumble the feta cheese into a food processor. Add Greek yogurt (or cream) and fresh lemon juice.
  5. Pulse the food processor until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Let the roasted tomatoes cool slightly, then add them along with any pan juices into the whipped feta mixture. Pulse a few more times to combine, leaving some texture.
  7. Add chopped fresh herbs and pulse briefly to mix. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
  8. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with roasted tomato halves and herbs.
  9. Serve immediately with warm pita chips, fresh cucumber slices, or crunchy crackers.

Notes

Use block feta for a creamier texture rather than crumbled feta. Roasting tomatoes caramelizes their natural sugars for sweetness. If dip is too thick, add a splash of olive oil or water to loosen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
