Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Feta
- 8 oz feta cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Roasted Strawberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for roasting the strawberries.
- Prepare Strawberries: Place the halved strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle them evenly with the balsamic vinegar and honey, then toss gently to ensure each berry is coated with the syrupy mixture.
- Roast Strawberries: Roast the strawberries in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they become tender, fragrant, and slightly caramelized.
- Whip Feta: While the strawberries roast, blend the feta cheese and extra virgin olive oil in a food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Dish: Transfer the whipped feta into a serving bowl and generously top with the warm roasted strawberries along with the syrup from the baking sheet.
- Serve: Present the whipped feta and roasted strawberry dish alongside bread or crackers for dipping and enjoying this flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- Use full-fat feta for a creamier texture.
- Adjust honey to taste for desired sweetness.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
- Can be made ahead by prepping the whipped feta and roasting strawberries separately, then combine before serving.
- Try with different berries for variation.
