Ingredients
Whipped Feta:
8 oz block of feta cheese (drained from brine, about 220 g)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (use a higher-fat version for less tartness)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1–2 Tbsp honey (plus more for serving)
1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh thyme)
Freshly cracked black pepper
Toppings:
Fresh thyme (or dried, if needed)
Chopped walnuts (optional; raw or toasted)
Extra drizzle of honey
Serve With:
Crusty toasted bread (like sourdough or baguette)
Crackers or pita chips
Instructions
Add feta cheese and Greek yogurt to a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add pumpkin puree, honey, thyme, and black pepper. Blend again until silky and fully combined.
Transfer to a bowl, cover, and chill for 30–60 minutes to firm up and develop flavor.
When ready to serve, stir, then top with chopped walnuts, fresh thyme, honey drizzle, and a little extra pepper.
Serve with toasted bread or crackers and enjoy!
Notes
For a less tangy flavor, use a full-fat Greek yogurt.
To enhance the sweetness, add an extra drizzle of honey before serving.
Chill time helps the dip thicken and taste even richer—don’t skip it!
Try toasting your walnuts for a warm, nutty crunch.
