Whipped Feta Dip with Honey
By Olivia Johnson
Feta whipped with cream cheese until light and fluffy, topped with a drizzle of honey and cracked pepper — a five-minute dip that looks and tastes far more expensive than it is.
This homemade version is creamy, tangy, and impossibly fluffy from the blend of feta and cream cheese, with honey adding just the right touch of sweetness.
A shower of cracked pepper makes it feel a little fancy, yet it comes together in five minutes with the kind of easy charm you’ll want to repeat often.

- tbsp Honey, for drizzling

Tips
Blending longer than you'd think is necessary is what gives this its light, whipped texture — don't stop at "combined." The swoosh-and-drizzle presentation is doing most of the "bougie" work here — take an extra 30 seconds with it.
