Notes

For the absolute best Roasted Garlic Herb Whipped Feta, start with high-quality feta cheese packed in brine. The block feta tends to be creamier and less dry than pre-crumbled feta, which is essential for that perfect whipped texture. Don't skimp on the roasting time for the garlic; the sweeter and more caramelized, the more depth of flavor it will bring to the dip. Fresh herbs are key, but dried herbs can work in a pinch – just use about half the amount called for. Finally, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Some people prefer a little extra lemon juice for brightness, while others prefer a touch more olive oil for richness.
