A creamy, tangy whipped feta dip topped with sweet roasted red peppers, perfect for serving with warm pita bread. Pairs wonderfully with a Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Goat Cheese and Roasted Vegetables.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the red bell peppers. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is blackened and blistered, turning occasionally.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
Peel off the skin of the peppers, remove the seeds, and chop the flesh. Set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the feta cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
Spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter. Top with the roasted red peppers.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
Serve immediately with warm pita bread.

For a smoother whipped feta, use high-quality feta cheese stored in brine. This type of feta tends to be creamier than pre-crumbled feta.
If you're short on time, you can use jarred roasted red peppers. Just make sure to drain them well before using.
To warm the pita bread, you can lightly grill it, toast it, or warm it in a dry skillet.
For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the whipped feta or roasted red pepper topping.
