Ingredients
- ✓227 g feta cheese
- ✓120 ml plain Greek yogurt
- ✓45 ml extra-virgin olive oil
- ✓15 ml fresh lemon juice
- ✓1 clove garlic
- ✓340 g fresh strawberries
- ✓22.5 ml balsamic vinegar
- ✓15 ml honey
- ✓0.3 tsp flaky sea salt
- ✓0.3 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- ✓30 ml fresh basil leaves
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
💡
Tip:Parchment prevents sticky caramelization from burning against the pan.
2
Spread the prepared strawberries across the baking sheet, then drizzle with 15 ml of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, and the honey. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt and gently toss to coat evenly.
💡
Tip:Keep berries in a single layer so they roast rather than steam.
3
Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender, glossy, and surrounded by syrupy balsamic juices. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
💡
Tip:Watch closely toward the end to avoid scorching the reduced juices.
4
While the berries cool slightly, place the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, remaining 30 ml of olive oil, lemon juice, and grated garlic into a food processor. Blend on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is light, creamy, and completely smooth.
💡
Tip:Bringing feta to room temperature beforehand yields a significantly smoother texture.
5
Spread the whipped feta across a wide, shallow serving dish, using the back of a spoon to create shallow swoops and indentations.
💡
Tip:The swoops help catch the warm roasted fruit juices.
6
Spoon the warm roasted strawberries and their reduced balsamic juices directly over the whipped feta. Garnish with torn fresh basil, freshly cracked black pepper, and a light finishing drizzle of olive oil before serving.
💡
Tip:Serve warm alongside toasted sourdough slices, crostini, or warm pita triangles.
📝 Chef's Notes
Leftover whipped feta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store leftover roasted strawberries separately to keep the dip from discoloring, and gently rewarm berries before spooning over the chilled feta base.
