  • 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.

Notes

  • 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!
