Ingredients
- 6 ounces quality feta cheese
- 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- zest from 1/2 lemon (optional)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- honey
- fresh thyme
- ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted*
Instructions
- Crumble 6 ounces quality feta cheese and place in the bowl of the food processor along with 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature. Pulse until the cheeses are well blended.
- Add 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, zest from 1/2 lemon (optional), and 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and pulse until dip is smooth and creamy. Remove to a shallow dish and refrigerate for up to three days.
- Drizzle with honey and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the dip before serving. We like to also add toasted pine nuts. Serve lightly chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
To toast the pine nuts add them to a small dry skillet placed over medium heat. Watch the skillet like a hawk because the nuts will not take long to toast and can burn easily.
