Introducing an appetizer game-changer. Move over tired cheese display, lemon and garlic whipped feta is making an appearance. Whipped feta is a super smooth, super creamy feta cheese spread. You’re going to take a bite of this and wonder how in the world you haven’t been eating whipped feta at every get together.
What I love about this feta cheese spread appetizer is that the flavors are strong and robust, but overall it’s light and smooth. Strong flavors, but you won’t feel weighed down or gluttonous. Lemon and garlic whipped feta is airy, light, fresh, zesty. It’s also comforting, creamy, smooth and is perfect as a dip, a spread or even a condiment.
So easy but this looks and tastes much more complex. Everything blends together until smooth. That’s it! Really, it’s that easy. These are the easy appetizer recipes we all need to have in our back pocket. The kind of crowd-pleasing appetizer that is ready in under 10 minutes and requires absolutely no baking. As if that wasn’t good enough, the best part is this is such a surprising appetizer you won’t be boring people. This isn’t some sliced cheese and crackers. This is smooth and buttery feta cheese, whipped until it’s totally creamy, blending with fresh lemon and garlic and just ready to be spread onto a cracker or pita bread.
Just look at that velvety smooth whipped feta cheese spread. It just begs to be spread onto a cracker or pita or naan. I actually ate this with garlic naan and it was really good. The thickness of the naan was perfect to hold the weight of the whipped feta. Once you see how easy this is to make and how fresh and light the flavors are you’ll want to make this for every party.
