Creamy, tangy, and just a little indulgent, this Whipped Sheep’s Milk Feta is the kind of appetizer that makes you look like a pro without even trying. Blended until perfectly smooth with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil, it’s light yet rich, with just the right amount of sharpness from the feta.

But the real magic? That spoonful of hot pepper bacon jam on top. It adds a touch of sweetness, a little spice, and a savory finish that keeps everyone going back for another bite. Serve it with toasted sourdough or crisp crackers, and you’ve got the ultimate party dip (or late-night snack).
