A delightful blend of creamy feta cheese and warm, earthy pumpkin, perfect for fall gatherings.


Ingredients

  • Approx. 8 oz block of feta cheese, drained from brine (around 220 grams)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • 1-2 Tbsp honey (plus more, to serve)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh thyme)
  • Black pepper (freshly cracked)
  • Fresh thyme (can use dried, if needed)
  • Chopped walnuts (optional; raw or toasted)
  • Extra honey drizzle

  • Crackers


Instructions

  1. Add feta cheese and Greek yogurt to a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down with a spatula as needed.
  2. Add pumpkin puree, honey (1 or 2 tablespoons), thyme, and black pepper. Blend until well combined.
  3. Transfer the dip to the fridge and chill (covered) for 30-60 minutes.
