Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pesto Whipped Feta
  1. Begin by crumbling the full-fat feta cheese into the bowl of a food processor or a sturdy blender.
  2. Add the minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the food processor with the crumbled feta. Blend these ingredients on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture transforms into a smooth and creamy consistency.
  3. Take a moment to assess the texture of your Pesto Whipped Feta. If it's too thick for your liking, drizzle in a bit more olive oil or add a spoonful of Greek yogurt while blending until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. If you prefer a chunkier dip, opt for a rustic version by mashing all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl using a fork.
  5. Once your Pesto Whipped Feta is just right, transfer it to a serving bowl and drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the top.
