How To Make (Amazing!) Whipped Feta. {Video!}
I don’t even know what to saaaay.
This whipped feta is single-handedly changing my life. And I mean, like reallyreallyreally changing my life, in ways that include consuming (very small) portions of vegetables along with it because it’s that good. Not like in the when-I was-12-I-stood-outside-of-Limited-Too-in-a-mint-and-navy-flannel-pleated-plaid-skirt-being-a-“model” type of way. That really didn’t take me… anywhere. Fortunately.
For weeks I was inflated with the idea of whipped feta. I have no idea why; I don’t know where I saw it, read about it or heard of it, but I certainly never tasted it and wasn’t really sure that it was a thing. Thank goodness it’s a thing.
You know where I actually think the thought came from? Crumbled feta is a pain. I mean, it’s a delicious pain, but it’s so, well, crumbly that if it’s inside a pita or on top of a pizza, it rolls right off. The crumbles crumble into even tinier crumbles. Even on a salad, it’s nearly impossible to stab each little chunk of feta with a fork and who is going to eat a salad with a spoon? Exactly.
Enter whipped feta. OMG. It is, in two words, freaking awesome.
As you can clearly see, I slathered it on toast. If I’m being perfectly honest, this is the way I ate almost the entire batch. So simple. So creamy and fabulous! I can’t take it. Ugh. And so much flavor.
I attempted the recipe three different ways: with regular cream cheese, whipped cream cheese and Greek yogurt. The whipped cream cheese easily won out. Maybe I’m just a sucker for anything whipped, but oh well. It’s just… yes.
Perhaps my favorite thing about this whole mess is that you can flavor it any way you like. With just these two ingredients, it tastes like… creamy feta. Mine did not need any additional seasoning, but you make the call. You could add roasted red peppers or a ton of herbs. Could even make this incredible dip into a whipped version, which is definitely at the top of my to-do list. You can add it to a salad or soup – heck, even spread it on pizza or use it like hummus. And the best part is that right after whipping? It’s sort of warm and super spreadable. But it’s just as great coming out of the fridge too.
Okay. What I’m really trying to say is that your Wednesday should be consumed by this activity. Whip your feta.
How To Make Whipped Feta

Instructions

Thank you for suggestion! Love having savory snacks. Fabulous on any boring cracker you may have in pantry.
Whipped feta is great for making avacado toast. Much better than the tomato paste some folks use.

I laughed a bit when I read the start of the post – I too was thinking about making whipped feta yesterday, although I’m not sure where or if I’ve seen it, or why I was thinking about it. I’ll definitely be trying this soon :)
Made this just as you did with the roasted tomatoes/herbs and HELLO LIFECHANGER. This will become a regular around my kitchen. Thank you for sharing!!
Made this last week for an appetizer and it is amazing – I put it on grilled bread and added honey! Now, every morning I have it for breakfast on toast! FABULOUS.

This looks AMAZING Jessica! Definitely plan on trying this (to impress my picky sister, no doubt). One question though: what kind of bread are you using? Those look like thick hearty slices that can stand up to almost anything! Is it a loaf you made yourself or storebought?

This changes the way I feel about cream cheese and feta. Together this will be amazing!
What a great post! So funny and so true! Whipped feta is da bomb!
I go to a cafe where they serve it with a piece of toasted bread (the fancy stuff), rocket/arugula, a good dollop of whipped feta, half an avocado and some toasted pine nuts to garnish, then finished with a drizzle of olive oil. It’s to die for and if I could only eat one meal for the rest of my days, that would be it.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I’ll be trying that tomorrow (which happens to be a Wednesday!).

Just came back from Greece and just wanted to let you know that feta creamed cheese is a thing!!! We had it as a savoury cheesecake topped with an olive tapenade as well as a refrigerated cheesecake topped with a fig jam. It was AMAZING!!! Seeing as it’s not available here at home, I will definitely give this a try.

Mine came out very soupy… The longer I pureed it, the runnier it got. Any tips?

Have done similar using regular cream cheese and a Tbsp of olive oil and milk to make creamy. Added minced sun-dried tomatoes, bacon bits and ground walnuts (about 1 Tbsp each). Love it as a spread on a roasted turkey sandwich.

This was pretty good, but our personal taste, next time I’ll cut back a little on the cream cheese and add more feta for just a bit more tang. Certainly was easy to make, and we enjoyed it as a spread on mini naan bread. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
