Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Course Appetizer
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of fresh strawberries stems removed, and halved
  • 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 8 ounces of feta in brine drained and cut into small cubes
  • 6 ounces of mascarpone or cream cheese about 3/4 cup, at room temperature
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • Chopped fresh basil and crackers or toast for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out the strawberries on the sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey. Drizzle the mixture over the strawberries and toss to coat evenly. Spread them out in a single layer.
  • Step 2: Roast the strawberries until they start to soften and release their juices, which should take about 25 to 30 minutes. Let them cool.
  • Step 3: While the strawberries are cooling, pulse the feta in a food processor until it breaks down into small crumbs. Add the mascarpone and a pinch of pepper, then pulse until everything is well combined. With the processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and blend until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  • Step 4: Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Top it with the cooled strawberries and basil, then drizzle with a bit more olive oil and season with pepper. Serve with crackers or toast on the side. Enjoy your delicious dip!
