Ingredients:
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or cream cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large ripe peach, sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh thyme or basil for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crusty bread, crackers, or pita chips for serving
Instructions:
- Whip the feta: In a food processor, blend the feta cheese with Greek yogurt (or cream cheese) until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and blend again until well combined. Set aside.
- Make the garlic oil: In a small skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the dip: Spread the whipped feta onto a serving plate or bowl. Drizzle the garlic-infused olive oil over the top, allowing it to pool into the feta.
- Add the peaches: Arrange the sliced peaches around the whipped feta, and drizzle with honey for extra sweetness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh thyme or basil. Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or pita chips.
This Garlic Oil Feta Dip with Peaches is a beautifully balanced dish, offering creamy, garlicky goodness with a touch of sweetness from the peaches and honey—perfect for an appetizer or light snack!
