Yield/Serves:

Whipped Feta
Makes: About 1 1/2 Cups
-
8 oz block of feta (not the crumbled feta)
-
4 oz full fat cream cheese, softened
-
3 Tbsp plain full fat Greek Yogurt (I used 5% Fage)
-
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
-
1 Tbsp Honey
-
1 Tsp fresh lemon zest
-
1 Tbsp ice cold water
Blackberry Thyme Hot Honey
Makes: About 1 cup
-
¾ Cup Raw Honey
-
½ Cup Fresh Blackberries
-
4-5 Sprigs of Thyme
-
1 Jalapeno Sliced (remove seeds for a mild version)
-
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
-
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
-
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Whipped Feta:
Break the feta into chunks and add it to a food processor.
Add cream cheese, greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, lemon zest
Blend for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until it’s completely smooth and fluffy. If the mixture is still clumpy add 1 Tbsp of ice cold water and mix well. Can keep this in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Blackberry Thyme Hot Honey:
In a small saucepan combine the honey, blackberries, thyme sprigs and sliced jalapenos.
Warm over low heat for 8-10 minutes. You want it steaming gently - don’t let it boil
Lightly mash the blackberries with the back of a spoon to release their juice
Remove from the heat and let everything steep together for another 10-15 minutes. After 10 minutes taste to see if you need more jalapeno heat, let it steep longer.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently on the blackberries to extract the juice.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and a pinch of flaky salt. Let cool before serving
