Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese, crumbled
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened Make sure it's at room temperature for easy blending
Flavor Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios, chopped Reserve some for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds Plus more for garnish
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Black Pepper To taste
  • Salt To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients, ensuring your cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing.
  2. In a food processor, combine the crumbled feta cheese and softened cream cheese. Pulse until they reach a creamy consistency.
  3. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice, then blend again until smooth. You want this mixture to be light and fluffy.
  4. Toss in the chopped pistachios and most of the pomegranate seeds. Pulse a few times to add texture.
  5. Taste your whipped feta and add salt and black pepper according to your preference. Blend briefly to mix.
  6. Transfer to your serving dish, topping with reserved pomegranate seeds and pistachios for that 'wow' factor.
Serving
  1. Serve your Pomegranate Pistachio Whipped Feta with fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the whipped feta sit for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. If you don’t have pistachios, walnuts or almonds work beautifully as substitutes. Avoid over-blending to prevent a runny consistency.
