If you’re looking for a new appetizer to impress your guests, then whipping up some feta cheese is the way to go. Our recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and can be prepped up to 4 days before serving. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. We also recommend you keep the cider sauce and whipped feta separate until serving.
While feta in its natural state can be crumbly and messy, whipping it up with some cream cheese and olive oil makes it easy to grab on a cracker. If you don’t like cream cheese, you can try using Greek yogurt as a substitute. Just make sure to choose a thick, full-fat Greek yogurt for the best consistency.
Because feta isn’t overpowering on its own, it pairs well with a variety of ingredients. This whipped feta recipe is a balance of sweet and savory flavors. There’s thyme and garlic in the feta mixture, then it’s topped with a cranberry cider sauce to contrast the fluffy texture and tang of the cheese. Once you get the hang of aerating the cheese base, you can try experimenting with other flavor combinations. We recommend serving your Cranberry Cider Whipped Feta with crostini or crackers.
