- Whipped Feta Dip
- 8 ounces block feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives + more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Spiced Pita Chips
- 2 pita pocket breads
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon za'atar
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Method
- Combine feta, greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, chives, and black pepper in a food processor. Process until a smooth consistency is achieved. Transfer dip to a serving bowl.
- Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a pan over medium high heat. Stirring constantly to prevent chile flakes from burning, cook until oil is very hot and infused with the chile, about 2 minutes. Add the pine nuts, and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until pine nuts are a deep golden brown. Immediately pour toasted pine nuts and chile oil atop feta dip. Top with additional chopped chives and serve with spiced pita chips for dipping.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the pita breads into eighths. Separate each pita triangle into two pieces (the top and bottom of the pocket) by tearing along the top edge.
- Spread pita triangles on a baking sheet and toss evenly with the olive oil, za'atar, and smoked paprika.
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until pita chips are golden brown and toasty.
