Cava Crazy Feta is a creamy and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dip featuring whipped feta cheese blended with olive oil and combined with sautéed sweet onions and fresh jalapeños for a perfect balance of spicy and savory flavors. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s ideal as a dip or spread for gatherings or snacks.

Ingredients

Feta Mixture

  • 8 oz feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Vegetable Sauté

  • 1/4 cup olive oil (plus 2 tbsp, divided)
  • 1 cup sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup fresh jalapeños, finely diced (seeds and stem removed)

Instructions

  1. Heat Olive Oil: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a small frying pan and heat it over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Onions and Jalapeños: Add the finely diced sweet onions and jalapeños to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for a few minutes until the onions and peppers start to turn golden brown and reduce in size.
  3. Whip the Feta: While the vegetables are cooking, break the feta cheese into pieces by hand and place them in a food processor or blender. Pour in 1/4 cup olive oil and blend, stopping occasionally to stir or scrape down the sides, until the feta becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the whipped feta into a large bowl. Add the sautéed jalapeño and onion mixture to the bowl.
  5. Mix and Adjust Spice: Stir the feta and sautéed vegetables together until fully combined. For extra heat, add some of the jalapeño seeds as desired.
  6. Store or Serve: If not serving immediately, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Before serving, allow it to come back to room temperature to regain its creamy and dippable texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, include some jalapeño seeds when mixing the ingredients.
  • You can serve this dip with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
  • Ensure the dip is at room temperature before serving for the best creamy texture.
  • This dip keeps well for up to 3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
