This delicious Feta and Green Olive Dip with Chargrilled Bread is a perfect appetizer for any gathering. With its creamy texture and savory flavors, it's sure to be a hit. The combination of ricotta and feta cheeses with the tangy olives creates a mouthwatering dip that pairs perfectly with the crisp, chargrilled baguette slices.
Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine the ricotta cheese, green olives, feta cheese, and minced garlic cloves. Process until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You might need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Once the dip has reached your desired consistency, transfer it to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the chargrilled bread.
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create more surface area for grilling.
- Brush each side of the baguette slices with olive oil using a pastry brush. You want a thin, even coat of oil.
- Place the bread slices on the preheated grill or grill pan. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred with grill marks and are crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside.
- Remove the chargrilled bread from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
- Serve the chilled feta and green olive dip alongside the chargrilled bread. You can garnish the dip with a few whole olives or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
- Allow your guests to spread the flavorful dip onto the warm, crispy bread slices. Enjoy this delicious appetizer at your next gathering!
Tips:
- Use high-quality olives and cheeses to ensure the best flavor.
- Chargrill the bread just before serving to keep it warm and crispy.
- For a smoother dip, blend the ingredients longer, or for a chunkier texture, pulse just a few times.
- Add a splash of lemon juice for a fresh, zesty flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an added touch of color and flavor.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the dip.
With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you’ve created a delightful and flavorful Feta and Green Olive Dip with Chargrilled Bread. This recipe is perfect for entertaining or as a snack for yourself. Enjoy the creamy dip with the warm, crispy bread for an irresistible treat.
