Feta Dip
- one 8-ounce block of feta cheese
- 1 small clove garlic (or half if you’re sensitive to garlic)
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
Toppings
- Pomegranate seeds
- Candied nuts (see notes)
- Thyme leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Orange or lemon zest
Instructions
- Pulse feta, garlic, cream cheese, and honey in a food processor until very smooth. Transfer to a plate and give it some swoops with a spoon to make it pretty.
- Top with pomegranate seeds, candied nuts, thyme leaves, freshly ground black pepper, zest, and a drizzle of honey.
Notes
Walnut Crispies (the candied nuts I used): Roast 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Mix 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a dash of black pepper, and some thyme or rosemary leaves together. Pour over the nuts and toss to coat. Let cool for 10-15 minutes so the coating hardens a little bit.
