Ingredients
whipped feta
- 1 heaping cup (approximately) of feta
- 2 tbsp sour cream (or greek yogurt)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- handful of fresh rosemary – start with 1 tbsp (ish!), give it a taste and add more as needed
- generous amount of sea salt and cracked black pepper
olive bake
- 2 1/2 cups mixed olives. I prefer kalamata and castelvetrano
- handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1 lemon cut into quarters
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sprinkle in approx 1-2 tbsp fresh thyme
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and have a baking dish ready to go.
2. Combine olives, tomatoes, lemon, garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper. Place into oven and cook for 25-30 minutes – stirring at the halfway mark.
3. While olives are baking, make your whipped feta. Using a food processor, add in the feta, sour cream (or greek yogurt), honey, rosemary, salt and pepper. Blend on high for 2 minutes.
4. Spread feta mixture onto a platter and top with the warm olive bake, fresh out of the oven!
5. Enjoy with crackers, baguette or chopped veggies!
