Ingredients

  • 2 (5-ounce) containers Frigo® Crumbled Feta Cheese
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, cold is fine
  • ½ cup olive oil plus more for finishing
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat grill to high heat.

Blend Frigo® Crumbled Feta Cheese, cream cheese, ½ cup olive oil, lemon juice, and zest, and garlic in a food processor or blender until finely blended. The mixture will be thick. 

Scrape this mixture into a small cast iron skillet, oven-safe crock, or aluminum foil packet and sprinkle with ground black pepper.  Fold aluminum foil to seal or top with aluminum foil if using a cast-iron skillet or crock. 

Place on hot grill, cook for 10 minutes, and then remove foil or open the top of the foil packet.  Allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes or until browned on top.

Remove from grill and finish with an additional swirl of olive oil, honey, and pine nuts.  Serve with SUN-dried Tomato Parmesan Wheel, grilled pita bread, or sliced cucumbers.

Rad Tip:  This dish can also be made in the oven by baking at 400º F for 10 minutes and then broiling on high to brown the top for an additional 2 minutes.
