  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
For the whipped feta

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the blistered tomatoes, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the tomatoes and let sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes - if the pan is getting too hot, turn to medium-low heat.
  2. Add the salt, pepper and minced garlic to the tomatoes, stir a few times to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from the heat and put the tomatoes into a bowl to fully cool.
  3. Once the tomatoes are cooled, make the whipped feta by combining the feta cheese, lemon juice, olive oil and lemon zest in a food processor. Pulse until combined and creamy.
  4. To make the hot honey, stir together the liquid honey, hot sauce and a pinch of chili flakes.
  5. To assemble the dip, spread the whipped feta on a plate or in a low bowl. Use a slotted spoon or fork to transfer the cooled tomatoes onto the feta. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle of fresh thyme. Serve with pitas and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make the blistered tomatoes ahead of time, fully cool and store in the fridge. You can use them to top the feta later in the day!
