Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • ice cream scooper

Ingredients

For the whipped feta

  • 16 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 10 oz sour cream
  • 2 tbps honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

For garnish and presentation

  • 6 sweet and spicy peppers I used Peppadew Sweet and Spicy Juanita Picante Peppers (mild)
  • 1 small arugula bunch for plating and also eating
  • toasted ciabatta bread slices I sprayed with butter for extra flavor prior to toasting
  • honey for drizzling amount to taste, and more on the side

Instructions

For the whipped feta

  • Add all the ingredients for the whipped feta into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. I used a blender and had to stop a few times to push down a bit for better mixing. You want the consistency to be thick enough to keep its shape when you scoop it with the ice cream scooper and smooth enough to easily spread over your toast, etc.

For garnish and presentation

  • Chop the sweet and spicy juanita peppers as small as possible.
  • In a presentation plate of choice, arrange a bed of arugula.
  • Top with individual scoops of the whipped feta and top with the chopped sweet and spicy peppers.
  • Next add ciabatta toasts, or any other side you'd like.
  • Drizzle the whipped feta with desired amount of honey.
