Whipped Feta with Roasted Tomatoes
This whipped feta dip with roasted tomatoes is the best appetizer - and so pretty! Scoop it with crackers or slather it onto crostinis. Watch the video below to see how I make this in my kitchen.

For the whipped feta
- 8 ounces block feta cheese
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ lemon juiced (about 1 ½ tablespoons juice)
- 1 garlic clove
For serving
- roughly chopped fresh herbs
- fresh veggies, crostini, or crackers for serving
Season the tomatoes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the tomatoes on a small baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast the tomatoes. Roast the tomatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're soft and bursting.
Make the whipped feta. While the tomatoes are roasting, to a food processor add the feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Process for 2 to 3 minutes, until creamy and whipped.
Serve it up. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving dish. Top with the roasted tomatoes, and garnish with fresh herbs.
- Texture tip: The brand of feta and yogurt can affect how loose or firm the whipped feta turns out. I've found block feta in brine is naturally softer than plastic-wrapped blocks, and the thickness of Greek yogurts can vary widely. So just be aware that yours may turn out fairly loose and more similar to my photos, or a bit more thick and more similar to my video. But either way, it tastes amazing!
- Storage Tips: This can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can also prep the whipped feta ahead of time and make the roasted tomatoes the day of to add on top before serving.
- Serving: I love serving the baked feta with these gluten-free flatbreads!
