Ingredients:
For the Whipped Feta:
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
For the Roasted Strawberries:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Roast the Strawberries
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the halved strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast for 20 minutes, or until the strawberries are soft, slightly caramelized, and syrupy.
2. Make the Whipped Feta
In a food processor, combine the feta, cream cheese, olive oil, honey, lemon zest, and thyme leaves.
Blend until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and whipped to perfection. This should take about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Assemble the Dish
Spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter or shallow bowl. Top generously with the roasted strawberries, including the delicious balsamic syrup left on the pan.
4. Serve and Enjoy!
Garnish with extra thyme leaves if desired. Serve with crusty crostini, pita chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.
Pro Tips:
- Want to add some crunch? Sprinkle with toasted pistachios or walnuts before serving.
- Make it ahead: Whipped feta can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just roast the strawberries fresh!
