Notes

Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip

SERVING ADVICE: You may prepare the pumpkin whipped feta up to a day ahead of time if you’re serving this recipe for a party. For maximum freshness, prepare the bread/dipping vessels and add any toppings just before serving.
Before serving, be sure to refrigerate the dip for at least 30 to 60 minutes. The dip will get firmer as a result!

This dish can be served as crostini or as a dip (as shown in the picture). Making crostini is as easy as slicing up a baguette, toasting it in the oven, spreading each piece with creamy feta, and garnishing with walnuts, fresh thyme, and honey.

GLUTEN-FREE VERSION: Because the dip is naturally gluten-free, you can serve it with bread or crackers made without gluten.

LEFTOVERS: In the refrigerator, airtight containers will store leftovers for a few days. They are delicious spread over sandwiches or as a snack dipping food.
