Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup feta cheese about 6 oz/170g, block in brine preferred
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt 60g
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers 75g, well drained
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove minced or grated, optional
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil optional, plus more for serving
  • Freshly ground black pepper or red pepper flakes to taste
  • Fine salt if needed

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Add crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, well-drained roasted red peppers, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic (if using) to a food processor.
  2. Process for 30-60 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice, until smooth.
  3. While the processor is running, drizzle in the olive oil if using, for extra silkiness.
  4. Season with black pepper or red pepper flakes to taste. Check if additional salt is needed.
  5. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, swirl into a bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

Notes

Use block feta in brine for the creamiest texture. Make sure to thoroughly drain and pat dry the roasted red peppers to prevent a watery spread. The spread can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve with warm pita, vegetables, as a sandwich spread, or mixed into pasta. Customize with fresh herbs like dill or basil, or add heat with extra red pepper flakes.
