Spicy Feta Cheese Dip

They are sometimes referred to as squeaky cheese.

Recipe Summary Spicy Feta Cheese Dip

This is best feta dip ever. It is so tangy and salty and completely addictive. People often comment that they would like to lick the bowl. Great on pitas, used as a dip, or alongside souvlaki.

Ingredients | Spicy Cheese Curds

½ cup olive oil

½ cup plain yogurt

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon paprika

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 pinch white sugar

1 pound feta cheese, cut into small cubes

Directions

Combine olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, paprika, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar in a food processor; pulse mixture until smooth. Add a couple feta cubes at a time, processing between batches until mixture until thick and smooth.

Transfer dip to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Use whatever feta cheese you prefer, but I've found creamy Greek or Macedonian feta to work best.
