Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed olives, cut into quarters if large
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon or orange zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)
- 8 ounces feta cheese block, drained
- 3/4 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice (only if needed for thinning)
- Minced fresh rosemary
- Cracked black pepper
- Additional lemon zest
- Fresh veggies or crackers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉.
- Combine olives, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small ovenproof dish. Mix well, and nestle fresh rosemary sprigs into the mixture.
- Roast the olive mixture for 12 minutes or until heated through and fragrant.
- Meanwhile, add feta cheese and Greek yogurt to a food processor. Secure the lid and blend, slowly streaming in olive oil. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed.
- If the whipped feta is too thick, blend in 1 tablespoon of milk for extra creaminess.
- Spread the creamy feta mixture evenly into a shallow oven-safe dish.
- Switch your oven to broil and position the rack in the middle. Broil the feta for 3-4 minutes until it’s warm and bubbling lightly along the edges.
- Remove from the oven and spoon the roasted olives over the whipped feta.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary, cracked black pepper, and extra lemon zest. Serve warm with veggies or crackers.
Notes
Tip: Shop the olive bar at your local grocer for high-quality, pre-pitted olives, and always rinse the excess brine for a smoother flavor balance.
