Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 8 oz feta cheese
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 ½ teaspoons sliced red hot chilli peppers in oil adjust to taste
- red pepper flakes optional
- Mediterranean pitted olives to serve with the dip optional
Instructions
- STEP 1: Add feta, cream cheese, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and diced red hot chilli peppers to the bowl of a food processor. Break up the feta and cream cheese with your fork so they can mix more easily. Mix these ingredients together until smooth, about a minute or so.
- STEP 2: Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl or store it in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. You can sprinkle the tirokafteri with red chilli flakes, olive oil or a few Meditteranean olives.
Notes
- This spicy feta dip will thicken slightly in the fridge. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- You can adjust the spice level to your preferences. If you'd like it spicier, gradually add more chilli peppers or chilli flakes to the dip.
- If the feta cheese and cream cheese are at room temperature, they will mix more easily in the food processor.
