Tomato Feta Cheese Dip
Tomato Feta Cheese Dip is a delicious and upscale appetizer with the smooth and tangy taste of feta cheese combined with freshly roasted tomatoes. A great dip to serve hot, cold, or room temperature.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz. feta cheese
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 lb. grape and cherry tomatoes quartered
- 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp honey
- pita chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add olive oil, tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning to a baking dish. Mix well and make sure tomatoes are in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast tomatoes for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly, hot and soft.
- Remove baking dish from oven and let cool. Set aside.
- **Here is where you'd want to remove skins if you don't want them in your dish. I think doing this as a whole tomato is easier, as they kind of slide-out, but maybe play with it. Then mash/cut the tomato in half before topping on the dip, or leave them whole and let the dipper chop tomatoes as they eat them.
- In a food processor, add feta cheese, cream cheese, water, honey, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
- Process for about 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl halfway through until smooth.
- Spread feta and cream cheese mixture onto a serving platter so it's about 1/2" thick.
- Top with reserved roasted tomatoes and serve with pita chips, bread, or vegetables.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
Best Chips for Dip
Homemade Pita Chips or pita bread go great with baked dips like this.
Other choices include delicious tortilla chips, corn chips, garlic bagel chips, and crusty bread like baguette slices. Keep it healthier by using fresh veggies like celery, sweet peppers, carrot sticks, or cucumber slices.
