Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, combine crumbled feta cheese and softened cream cheese. Process for about 1-2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the whipped cheese mixture. Pulse for an additional 30 seconds until silky and well-seasoned.
  3. Scoop the whipped feta into a serving dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Create a shallow well in the center for the honey drizzle.
  4. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon zest to brighten the honey. Ensure the zest is evenly distributed.
  6. Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the center well of the whipped feta, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately with warm pita, toasted baguette slices, or veggies.
