Serves

Ease

Effortless

Salty, sweet, ten minutes — the little board that makes people take their coats off and stay.

Ingredients

What you'll gather

  • 200 g feta
  • 100 g cream cheese or thick yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 4 fresh figs, torn
  • A handful of olives
  • Toasted sourdough or crackers
  • Thyme & cracked pepper

Method

A gentle path

  1. 1

    Blend the feta, cream cheese and olive oil until airy — a full minute, longer than feels necessary.

  2. 2

    Spoon onto a wooden board and swoop a hollow through the middle.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the honey into the hollow so it pools.

  4. 4

    Tuck the figs and olives around the edges.

  5. 5

    Finish with thyme and pepper, and serve with warm bread.

A little note

Make the whipped feta a day ahead; bring it back to room temperature before serving.
