A light and airy whipped feta dip served with fresh crudités and warm pita bread. Perfect as a starter to complement Mediterranean meals.
Place the feta cheese, softened cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and black pepper in a food processor or blender.
Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of olive oil or lemon juice at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add a pinch of salt, but be mindful that feta is already quite salty.
While the feta mixture is processing, warm the pita bread. You can warm them in a toaster oven, on a baking sheet in a regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes, or briefly toast them in a dry skillet.
Arrange the whipped feta dip in a serving bowl. Serve immediately with the warmed pita bread and crudités.
