Whipped Feta with Hot Honey

Ingredients:
● 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
● 4 oz cream cheese, softened
● 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
● 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
● 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
● 1 clove garlic, minced
● Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
● ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
● ¼ cup honey
● 1 teaspoon chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne (for hot honey)
● Optional garnish: fresh thyme, chopped pistachios, or microgreens

Instructions:
1. In a food processor or blender, combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt,
lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and fluffy, scraping down sides as needed.
2. In a small saucepan, gently warm honey with chili flakes or cayenne over low heat for 2–3 minutes to infuse the heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Transfer whipped feta to a serving bowl. Drizzle generously with the spicy honey and an extra splash of olive oil.
4. Top with fresh herbs or nuts if you like. Serve with warm pita, toasted bread, crackers, or fresh veggies.
