Instructions:
Start by gathering all the ingredients. Ensure the feta cheese is crumbled or broken into manageable pieces for easier blending. Peel the garlic cloves.
Place the feta cheese into a food processor or blender. Add the olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, and milk.
Run the food processor or blender on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even blending.
If the dip is too thick, add a bit more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Blend again briefly to mix it in.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Depending on your preference and the saltiness of the feta, you might want to add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Transfer the feta dip to a serving bowl, cover it, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the chilled feta dip with Melba toasts or other favorite dippers like pita chips, sliced vegetables, or crusty bread.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor.
- Allow the dip to sit for a few hours in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld together.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
- Serve the dip at room temperature for optimal creaminess.
- Your Melba toasts will be even better if you lightly brush them with olive oil and bake them for a few minutes until golden and crispy.
There you have it – a creamy, delectable feta dip paired with crunchy Melba toasts. This easy-to-make appetizer is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. With its rich flavors and satisfying textures, it's the perfect way to kick off any meal or enjoy as a standalone snack. Happy cooking!
