Ingredients

Scale

For the Whipped Feta Dip

  • 8 oz feta cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Strawberries

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the strawberries.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: Slice the fresh strawberries and arrange them evenly on a baking tray to ensure even roasting.
  3. Add Sugar and Balsamic: Sprinkle the strawberries with sugar (or your choice of honey or maple syrup) and drizzle with balsamic vinegar to enhance sweetness and add depth of flavor.
  4. Roast Strawberries: Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until they become jammy and soft, releasing their natural sweetness.
  5. Make Whipped Feta Dip: In a blender or food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth but keep some texture if desired for a creamy yet slightly chunky consistency.
  6. Serve: Serve the warm roasted strawberries alongside the whipped feta dip with your choice of bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup in the roasted strawberries for a different sweetness profile.
  • Adjust salt and pepper in the dip according to taste since feta cheese is naturally salty.
  • This dip pairs wonderfully with pita bread, crostini, or crunchy vegetable sticks like cucumber and carrots.
  • Make sure not to overblend the dip if you prefer some texture in the whipped cheese.
  • Roasted strawberries can be made ahead and served warm or at room temperature.
