  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dip Base

  • 8 oz block of feta cheese
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup hot honey (or regular honey)
  • 2 tbsp crushed pistachios
  • 1 tbsp minced chives
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate arils (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Combine the feta cheese, cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, and olive oil in a food processor. Pulse for about one minute, pausing to scrape down the sides halfway through, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread the Dip: Transfer the whipped feta mixture to a rimmed plate. Use a knife or spatula to spread it evenly over the surface.
  3. Add Toppings and Serve: Drizzle the hot honey evenly over the spread. Sprinkle crushed pistachios and minced chives on top, adding pomegranate arils if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite gluten-free crackers and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use hot honey for a spicy kick or substitute with regular honey for a milder sweetness.
  • Ensure the feta is chilled before processing to get the best creamy texture.
  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Pairs well with gluten-free crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread slices.
  • Pomegranate arils add a pop of color and tart flavor but are optional depending on your preference.
