Ingredients
Pita Bread
- 8 oz. Good Feta Cheese, in brine
- 6 oz. Jarred HOT Banana Peppers +3 tablespoon reserved pepper juice
- 1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 clove garlic, minced *optional
Instructions
- Chop up your banana peppers if not already pre-sliced.
- Add in your feta cheese, the pepper juice and red pepper flakes.
- Use a fork to break up your feta and mix everything together until it's creamy and paste-like.
- Serve chilled with warm pita bread or slices of crusty bread.
- Tips for warming your pita:Toss the WHOLE pita bread round on the grill, in a grill pan, under the broiler OR my favorite way, directly over your burner. You want a slight char on your pita. This will take the flavor to another level so don't skip it! It only takes 5 minutes to do! Then cut into triangles and serve. Naan bread is great too!
Notes
Store in the fridge until ready to serve. (Can do a few days ahead of time.)
If using garlic, let your dip sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This will allow the garlic flavor to build.
You can blend your dip in a food processor too for a creamier consistency.
