Honey Whipped Feta Dip with Blistered Tomatoes
For an appetizer that has it all—creamy, salty, juicy, and a bit sweet—try this Honey Whipped Feta Dip Recipe with Blistered Tomatoes. It’s the kind of dish that looks impressive but comes together so quickly, you’ll have everyone convinced you’re a kitchen rockstar. Trust me, this whipped feta recipe is one for the books!
This whipped feta dip is great for any occasion. You can serve it at a holiday party, a summer gathering, or a cozy night with friends. Everyone will enjoy it!
Whipped Feta Dip For the Win
I have been making whipped feta for years. There’s something magical about cool, creamy feta and hot, juicy roasted tomatoes. It’s like fate destined them to be on the same plate.
Whip the tangy feta until smooth using a hand mixer or blender, and mix it with honey and fresh lemon zest.
The blistered cherry tomatoes are sweet and juicy and flavored with garlic and a touch of thyme. Add a pinch of cumin for depth, and this dish feels a little bit fancy, but not at all fussy—exactly how I like it.
A Party Appetizer That’s Easy and Elegant
Let’s discuss party food for a second. I think the best appetizers check three boxes:
- Easy to make (no one wants to spend hours prepping while guests arrive).
- Impressive to serve (people eat with their eyes first, after all).
- Irresistibly delicious (the kind of dish that has everyone asking for the recipe).
This whipped feta dip recipe nails all three. It’s ready in minutes with a blender or food processor. Meanwhile, the cherry tomatoes roast in the oven doing their thing.
You don’t have to hover over a stove or fiddle with complicated steps. By the time you caramelize and blister the tomatoes, you’re ready to assemble and serve. Minimal effort with maximum payoff is exactly the kind of recipe I love sharing with you.
Why Whipped Feta is a Must-Have Recipe
Feta is already one of my favorite cheeses, but when you whip it with cream cheese and a drizzle of honey? Game changer. It transforms into this silky, luscious spread that’s savory, slightly sweet, and impossibly smooth. This whipped feta with honey feels indulgent but still light enough to leave you room for the main course (or dessert).
Here’s why you’ll love it:
- The texture is everything. Smooth and creamy—a perfect pairing for crispy crostini or crackers.
- It works year-round. Whether tomatoes are ripe in the summer or roasted in the winter, this dish is always a winner.
- It’s versatile. Serve it as a centerpiece appetizer, a side dish, or even slathered on toasted bread for a light lunch.
And let’s not forget those tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are great for cooking all year. They stay sweet, even in the winter. Roasting them brings out all their natural sweetness, while the garlic, honey, and thyme add layers of flavor that make this dish pop.
Pro Tip for Serving This Whipped Feta Dip
I always recommend serving this whipped feta dip with a mix of crostini, crackers, and baguette slices. The more dippers, the better.
To add some extra flair, drizzle more honey on top of the dip. Then, sprinkle fresh thyme and finish with cracked black pepper. A touch of flaky sea salt never hurts, either.
And while this creamy whipped feta dip recipe is incredible as is, feel free to customize it to suit your taste. Add a pinch of chili flakes for some heat, or toss the tomatoes with fresh basil after roasting for a caprese-style twist.
A Dish That Feels Special, Anytime
This whipped feta recipe is proof that you don’t need complicated ingredients or steps to create something special. The creamy whipped feta mixed with honey and juicy, blistered tomatoes is perfect for any occasion. It feels fancy enough for a holiday table but simple enough for a casual get-together.
Make this for your next party, and I guarantee it’ll be one of those recipes you keep coming back to. Easy, elegant, and downright delicious.

Made for NYE! It was so good and will definitely make again! Everyone loved it 🙂
The feta took longer than I thought to get smooth and creamy but just keep it going in the food processor.
Absolutely delicious! This is the first recipe that I have made from an Instagram post and it does not disappoint. The hint of lemon from the lemon zest with the creaminess of the cheese dip and the bite of the roasted tomato is superb. It’s easy to make, affordable, makes a lot, and provides a “wow” factor that makes it a perfect dish for a party. My party guests kept coming back for more.
