Feta Dip

I absolutely love this feta dip and I’ll tell you why! It’s super easy and requires very little time to prepare, pairs well with most raw veggies so it’s a healthier appetizer and because of all the color it makes for a stunning presentation! After all, we do eat with out eyes first. To save time the day of, I like to make this dip the night before any special occasion. Like Easter! It allows all the flavors to come together and for it completely cool. I take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving!

Feta Dip

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz feta cheese block
  • 8 oz cream cheese block
  • 10 oz grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 slices of thick cut bacon
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 5 slices of bacon onto a baking sheet and cook in the oven until bacon is as crispy as you like it. When it’s done transfer to a plate lined with a cloth or paper towel so it can absorb excess grease. Leave oven on 400°.
  2. Using your preferred baking dish place feta, cream cheese in it. Arrange grape tomatoes around the cheese and pour Italian dressing over everything. Shake seasonings over everything.
  3. Bake in the oven until tomatoes burst on their own. About 35-40 minutes!
  4. While dip is baking take your bacon and break it up into small pieces. You can use your hands or a knife. Set aside.
  5. Once cheese is completely melted and tomatoes have burst remove from oven. Give the dip a good stir to break everything up. Add your bacon bits and mix well to make sure everything distributed evenly. Allow your dip to cool completely before serving.
  6. Store in refrigerator.

Notes:

  • I like to serve this with baby carrots, english cucumber slices, celery and crackers! More great options; olives, pita bread or chips, raw broccoli.
  • I got my serving platter at Target!
