Ingredients

For the whipped feta base:

• 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1-2 garlic cloves, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the bruschetta topping:

• 1 cup diced cherry or Roma tomatoes

• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped or julienned

• 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• 1 small garlic clove, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For serving:

• Balsamic glaze for drizzling

• Pita chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices

Instructions

Step 1: Make whipped feta base
In a food processor or mixer, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Process for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread into a shallow serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2: Prepare bruschetta topping
In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped basil, red onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and salt. Gently toss together and let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 3: Assemble and serve
Just before serving, drain excess liquid from the bruschetta mixture to prevent the dip from becoming watery. Spoon the bruschetta topping over the whipped feta base. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately with pita chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.

This appetizer combines the creamy, tangy flavor of whipped feta with the fresh, bright taste of classic bruschetta, creating an irresistible dip perfect for entertaining.
