Tips for the Best Whipped Feta

Use high-quality feta – Greek feta made from sheep’s milk gives the best creamy texture.

For extra creaminess, add a splash of milk or more yogurt.

Add a Mediterranean twist with sumac, za’atar, or chili flakes for spice.

Pair with fresh veggies like cucumbers, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
