Ingredients

8 ounces feta crumbled
4 ounces cream cheese softened
2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil

Instructions

Place the feta, cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
8 ounces feta, 4 ounces cream cheese, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pulse a few times to chop up the ingredients.
Slowly stream in the olive oil with the food processor set on medium speed.
1/3 cup olive oil
Scrape down the sides and continue to process the mixture until smooth.
Serve immediately with garnishes of your choice. I like to drizzle more olive oil on top along with some extra crumbled feta cheese, chili flakes, chopped chives, and black pepper.

Notes

Use a block of feta cheese for the best quality and smooth texture. Pre-crumbled feta often has added ingredients that affect the texture.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. It blends better this way.
Stream the olive oil in slowly for a creamier dip.
Taste as you go! If you want more tangy flavor, add a bit more lemon juice.
For a fancier touch, top with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, and chili flakes.
If you want a more mild feta flavor, double the cream cheese but keep the rest of the base the same.
