LEMON-GARLIC WHIPPED FETA WITH PESTO

1 pound feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 T finely grated lemon zest (1 lemon)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
2 tablespoons pesto


 

Place the feta in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse into small crumbs, 6 to 8 pulses. Add the yogurt and blend, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the mixture is whipped and very smooth, for 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the lemon zest and  garlic, and blend for 10 seconds more. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl, drizzle with the pesto and sprinkle the cayenne on top before serving. Alternately, you may replace the pesto with a generous olive oil float.
 

Bon Appetit!
