Ingredients

  • 8 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup peperoncini peppers sliced
  • ¼ cup green onion sliced
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • black pepper to taste
  • barbecue chips thick sliced with ridges are the best
  • Chili oil to drizzle

Instructions

  • Blend feta cheese, mayonnaise, and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl periodically.
  • Fold in sliced peperoncini peppers, green onions, lemon zest and black pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and chill dip for at least one hour before serving.
  • Drizzle dip with chile oil. Make sure to serve with a sturdy, barbecue chip.

Notes

Tips For Success
  • Allow about one hour for the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
  • Be sure to use a sturdy "ruffled" style bbq potato chip. Even though this is a cream dip, a thin potato chip will break when dipping.
  • Want to make this whipped feta dip even creamier and more special. If you can find a block of creamy Greek feta, by all means give it a try. It's a higher quality feta cheese than crumbled.
