What is feta cheese?
Feta cheese is the most famous of Greek cheeses. It has a salty and tangy taste because it is brined. You can find it in a block or crumbles. It can be made with sheep or goats milk and also cow milk.
I prefer the block for this recipe, I think it is creamier and better suited for a dip or spread. Feta cheese is usually in the dairy isle of your local grocery store and I sometimes find it in the deli also.
How to Store Whipped Feta Spread:
Whipped feta can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It is best served at room temperature, so remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.

I adapted this recipe from What’s Gaby Cooking, where she serves it with crostini. It’s always been one of my favorites, so I decided it could use a little photo update.
