Use a food processor or mixer to whip the cream cheese and feta until it’s totally lump-free and fluffy.
8 ounces cream cheese, 8 ounce block feta cheese
Blend in Olive Oil and Basil
Add the olive oil and dried basil. Give it another good blend so everything’s super smooth and creamy.
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon dried basil
Make an Indention with a Knife
Spread the whipped feta cheese into a shallow serving dish and make a swirled indention pattern in the dip with a butter knife. I created a circular pattern starting in the middle out, but you can get creative if you like!
Drizzle the Honey and Garnishes
Drizzle honey in the indentions with a spoon or use a honey container with a nozzle. If desired, sprinkled one side of the dip with blueberries, toasted almonds, crushed red pepper and parsley.
To toast the almonds: spread out the almonds on a cookie sheet and toast in a 350ºF oven for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
Use a block of feta, not the pre-crumbled type. It’s creamier and blends better.
If you don't want to make a design with the honey, scoop out a hole in the middle and add honey there.
Toast some almonds for irresistible crunch and nutty flavor as a garnish.
Cream cheese softened to room temp mixes up smoother.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll stay good for about 5 days. The flavors get better as they blend too!
