Whipped Feta Olive Dip

Such a simple vegetarian snack to whip (no pun intended) up for NYE!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Feta

  • 4oz of Cream Cheese

  • 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 Cup Olives (Kalmata or Manzanilla or a mix)

  • 2-4 Tbsp. EVOO Garlic Infused Olive Oil

  • 2 Tsp. Garlic Powder

  • 2 Tsp. Olive Oil

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

  • Lay the halved tomatoes on a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Broil on low about 10-12 minutes or until softened.

  • While the tomatoes are broiling, combine the EVOO garlic infused oil (start with just 2 tbsp and add more throughout as needed), garlic powder, cream cheese and feta in a blender or magic bullet. You can even use a really goos immersion blender if you would like. Blend until well mixed.

  • Spread in a large bowl or plate, lay the roasted tomatoes on the edge and top with the olives. Sprinkle with pepper then lightly drizzle with a little extra garlic olive oil. Serve with toasted bageutte slices.

MAKE IT EASY - Sorry kids - that is about as easy as it gets without just buying the whipped feta dip straight from the store.

MAKE IT EXTRA - Add 1/4 Cup of Olives right into the feta mixture to get the flavors spread out. Use 2-3 cloves of garlic (minced) to replace the garlic powder.
