Approx. 8 oz block of feta cheese, drained from brine (around 220 grams)
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1-2 Tbsp honey (plus more, to serve)
1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh thyme)
Black pepper (freshly cracked)
Toppings:
Fresh thyme (can use dried, if needed)
Chopped walnuts (optional; raw or toasted)
Extra honey drizzle
Serve With:
Crusty, toasted bread (like sourdough or baguette)
Crackers
Make whipped feta by adding the feta cheese and greek yogurt to a food processor. Blend ingredients together for a few minutes until smooth, scraping down with a spatula as needed.
Add pumpkin puree, 1 or 2 tbsp of honey, thyme, and a few cracks of black pepper to the food processor. Blend again until all ingredients are combined.
Transfer whipped feta to the fridge and chill (covered) for 30-60 minutes. This is necessary to harden and chill the dip.
When you're ready to serve this recipe, transfer the whipped feta to a large bowl. Garnish with a handful of chopped walnuts (optional), a generous sprinkle of fresh thyme, an extra drizzle of honey, and more pepper.
Serve with crusty/toasted bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
