Report
This whipped feta dip with roasted tomatoes is the best appetizer - and so pretty! Scoop it with crackers or slather it onto crostinis. Watch the video below to see how I make this in my kitchen.

Ingredients
For the roasted tomatoes
- 1 pint (about 2 cups) Cherry or grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
For the whipped feta
- 8 ounces block feta cheese
- ¾ cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ lemon juiced (about 1 ½ tablespoons juice)
- 1 garlic clove
For serving
- roughly chopped fresh herbs
- fresh veggies, crostini, or crackers for serving
Instructions
- Season the tomatoes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the tomatoes on a small baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast the tomatoes. Roast the tomatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're soft and bursting.
- Make the whipped feta. While the tomatoes are roasting, to a food processor add the feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Process for 2 to 3 minutes, until creamy and whipped.
- Serve it up. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving dish. Top with the roasted tomatoes, and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes
- Texture tip: The brand of feta and yogurt can affect how loose or firm the whipped feta turns out. I've found block feta in brine is naturally softer than plastic-wrapped blocks, and the thickness of Greek yogurts can vary widely. So just be aware that yours may turn out fairly loose and more similar to my photos, or a bit more thick and more similar to my video. But either way, it tastes amazing!
- Storage Tips: This can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can also prep the whipped feta ahead of time and make the roasted tomatoes the day of to add on top before serving.
- Serving: I love serving the baked feta with these gluten-free flatbreads!
