This Spicy Feta Dip is perfect for easy holiday entertaining. Made with Stella Feta Cheese and spicy peppers, it’s a tasty addition to any holiday cheese board.
Tis’ the season to party y’all!! Stella Cheeses and I are collaborating together to show just how simple entertaining can be this holiday season with this easy Spicy Feta Dip recipe. Stella is also offering someone the chance to win a $5,000 trip to Napa Valley in California to eat cheese and drink wine. Now that’s a trip that would make anyone’s holiday memorable! Wooohoooo! 
This Spicy Feta Dip is my take on the classic Greek spicy cheese dip, Tirokafteri. I make this recipe quite often to serve as an appetizer when we entertain, because I always have feta cheese on hand and it takes less than 10 minutes to whip up. Plus, the leftovers make an awesome sandwich spread (helllloooo leftover-Thanksgiving-turkey-grilled-sandwich-with-a-thick-smear-of-spicy-feta-dip!). This dip also makes a delicious compliment to a cheese board, which everyone knows is the epitome of effortless entertaining.
I adore a beautiful cheese board and have always thought of one as if it were Brad Pitt: attractive, elegant, super easy, and most people are pretty darn happy to see it (well, except maybe vegans…although I don’t think vegans necessarily have a problem with Brad Pitt). Whenever I make a cheese board, I love to add a couple of my own special personal touches, like adding a homemade cheese dip and using bread slices instead of store bought boxed crackers. Just pick up a good quality french bread baguette from a local bakery, cut it into 1/2 inch slices, and use the slices as-is or lightly toast them. It’s a delightful change from the typical crackers.
It’s so easy to put together an impressive and glorious looking cheese board that looks like you spent all day putting it together. Here’s how to do it: Start by adding a variety of your favorite Stella Cheeses on a pretty serving surface (Stella has been producing quality cheeses since 1923, so no matter which type you choose, it’s gonna be tasty! I used fontinella, gorgonzola, and, feta), then fill in all the spaces around the cheeses with an assortment of dried fruit, fresh fruit, little bowls of marinated olives and/or nuts, the fresh bread slices, and the spicy feta dip. Set this baby on the table, then stand back and watch people gush over you and this delicious dip and amazingly cheeseboard!
So get cheesy with it and plan a holiday party featuring this Spicy Feta Dip and a delightful cheeseboard filled with Stella Cheeses. Learn more about their cheeses here and find out where to purchase your favorites. Also, don’t forgot to enter Stella’s Napa Valley wine and cheese contest
