Combining the sharp, tangy notes of feta with the richness of olive oil and a hint of garlic, this dip is easy to prepare and pairs wonderfully with crispy Melba toasts. Let's dive into this delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

1 cup feta cheese
230g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
Start by gathering all the ingredients. Ensure the feta cheese is crumbled or broken into manageable pieces for easier blending. Peel the garlic cloves.
2. Blend Ingredients:
Place the feta cheese into a food processor or blender. Add the olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, and milk.
3. Process Until Smooth:
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.
4. Adjust Consistency:
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.
5. Season to Taste:
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.
6. Chill:
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.
7. Serve:
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!
