Honey Whipped Feta with Garlic Herb Roasted Olives
Roasted olives are served over sweet and creamy honey whipped feta cheese. This is the simplest of appetizers, yet so amazingly delicious - creamy, sweet, salty, and addicting.
Ingredients
Roasted Olives:2 cups mixed olives pitted
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, smashed (I quartered them instead.) Add more if you like garlic.
1 shallot, quartered
1 lemon, quartered
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh oregano
chili flakes
Honey Whipped Feta:
1 block (8 ounce) feta cheese
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2-3 tablespoons honey
black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450° F.1. In a baking dish, combine the olives, olive oil, garlic, shallot, lemon, thyme, oregano, and a big pinch of chili flakes. Bake 20-25 minutes, until the garlic turns golden and the oil is sizzling.
2. Meanwhile, whip the feta. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy. The feta can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
3. Spoon the feta into a serving bowl and then top with the warm olives. Serve with bread or crackers. (I served the feta and olives in separate bowls)
