There are so many different recipes for whipped feta. Whipped feta is hard to get wrong, so most of the recipes out there are likely good. But what I’ve seen is that many are too complicated. Y’all, whipped feta is EASY.
I look at this whipped feta as two easy recipes, depending on your mood, each requiring a slightly different variation.
Do I want my whipped feta to have the consistency of Greek yogurt, or do I want it to be thick yet spreadable? Each consistency difference requires a different recipe.

I’ve made these recipes so easy that once you’ve read them, I think you’ll have them in your brain forever!
Tip: DO NOT USE CRUMBLED FETA! You want to only use a block of moist feta. Sorry about that word choice; I know the “m” word is a problem for many people …
For a creamy yogurt consistency, the recipe is two parts feta to one part whipped cream cheese (2:1). Not cream cheese — whipped cream cheese.
For thicker, spreadable whipped feta — and it’s my personal favorite for taste — use four parts feta to one part whipped cream cheese to one part ricotta cheese (4:1:1).
How does this play out?
- 8-oz. block of feta + 4 oz. of whipped cream cheese
- 8-oz. block of feta + 2 oz. of whipped cream cheese + 2 oz. of ricotta cheese
Thinking about this in terms of proportions helps because your favorite block of feta may come in a different size than eight ounces, or you may have a different amount on hand. Plus, you can easily double it or make it on the fly when you think of this recipe in proportions instead of ounces.

Tips: You want to use a food processor or a standup blender. At first, the mixture will look crumbly. DO NOT ADD WATER OR MILK! Just keep blending for about two minutes, and the consistency will change. I promise you that it will!
Once your whipped feta is ready, you can decide how to top it. Yum!
Here are three ways to top your whipped feta, no matter which recipe you use. Also, I topped all of these delicious options with Za’atar, a Middle Eastern-inspired spice blend. I use the Private Selection brand, found at Kroger.

If you make this hours or days in advance, you'll want to take it out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you start to plate and top it.
Choose which topping group you'd like to use and place them on the whipped feta, then serve with bread, pita chips, or crackers.
