Cheese Base
- 200g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Mix-ins
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Blend Feta and Yogurt: In a food processor, combine the crumbled feta cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large chunks for a velvety texture.
- Add Olive Oil and Seasoning: Drizzle in the olive oil while processing, then season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture emulsifies into a light fluff.
- Fold in Pistachios and Pomegranate Seeds: Transfer the whipped feta to a bowl and gently stir in the chopped pistachios and pomegranate seeds. This will add a satisfying crunch and burst of sweetness to the creamy spread.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite crackers, pita bread, or use as a flavorful topping for fresh salads. Enjoy this vibrant dish fresh for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality feta for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Adjust the amount of yogurt for desired consistency; use more for a lighter spread.
- Chill the whipped feta before serving if you prefer a firmer texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a nut-free version, omit pistachios and add extra pomegranate seeds or herbs.
