Whipped feta is a seriously gorgeous dip and super easy to make for a sharing dinner party starter. We've loaded ours with glazed leeks, but if you're wanting a much quicker dip to throw together, scrap the leeks and drizzle your whipped feta with good quality extra-virgin olive oil.

Want to make this as part of a breakfast, or lunch? Use the whipped feta as a spread on toast with roasted tomatoes.
